FWIW, I agree with this decision.
High level, the basic logic says to a user if you need to cite
something, insert a citation, and let your citation processor take
care of the rest.
Whether that final output is a number, a footnote mark, or an
author-date representation, it should "just work."
Going the other way doesn't really make sense from that perspective. A
user can still place a citation in a footnote manually.
