The method often suggested to get the absolute best focus using a manual
focus zoom, was to focus zoomed in then zoom out and re-frame at the
desired magnification. The plane of focus stayed the same.

May not be possible on a zoom lens.
Manual focus is not used by the vast majority of people who buy
cameras, so it's added cost for a feature that is useless to most of
the customers who care more about price.

They definitely do. Otherwise one couöd zoom in, focus much more
precisely and zoom out again. You'll admit that this would be far too
easy...
