It's (dead) simple math to determine if the direction of travel is toward or away from the next waypoint. Whatever waypoint is closest is the one the route should automatically direct to. A second, related setting would be "ensure route passes through all waypoints". If enabled, the route would always route to the missed waypoint. If disabled, routing is to the next closest waypoint.
There is no technical reason why this feature couldn't be implemented. Tt's simply an issue of the author(s) not deeming the feature desirable.
