It adds yet-anoter-form-of-function. I.e. it makes function calls yet
a tiny bit slower, forces placed that look inside functions (like
describe-function) to deal with yet-another-case, ...

But we can provide such a rarely used operator on top of other primitives
just fine. It only deserves the fast implementation you suggest if its
performance is worth it.
>From what I can tell, rcurry will simply never be used.
