Who expected this feature? Who needs this feature? How many real users 
do you have on your home machine? 5? 10? Does the average user care for 
it? Or is it a geek toy (to be serious, most geeks won't need that 
feature either, or will atleast be able to figure that they'll have to 
execute chflags and friends)?

Ask yourself, how often would you need it (need != toying around with no 
real use case)? Note, that Thunar is not a system administration 
utility, but a simple file manager.
