That almost happens, when numbering is set to "context".

The critical thing is to know what set of numbers goes with which
writing system. When writing system and numbering system don't go
together, bizarre things can happen.

This is one of the features whose use case is limited, but when needed,
is literally "mission critical".

That the majority of languages and writing systems that have such a use
case are endangered, or extinct, is not enough of a reason to justify
its removal.

That MSO lacks the feature is simply evidence of their corporate
commitment to acute monolingualism.
