Seed phrases
Now why do not we generate a seedphrase from the pockets.dat and vice versa for extra flexibility, agility and safety.
I do not know – however perhaps it is as a result of seed phrases arguably have much less flexibility, much less agility and much less safety.
-
Seed phrases do not restore imported keys and so may be much less protected for inexperienced or incautious customers.
-
Seed phrases do not restore descriptors and so do not have sufficient flexibility to revive the kinds of handle in use for every derived key.
-
Seed phrases do not restore labels or different kinds of metadata that could be vital to some individuals.
-
Seed phrases do not restore the pockets passphrase used to securely encrypt contents.
So, though extra expertise individuals could don’t have any issues in coping with these, it’s controversial that restoring from a seed phrase may be much less safe and is not versatile sufficient to deal with imported keys and so forth with out further work.

I do not work on Bitcoin core or observe the developer discussions so there could also be totally completely different causes influencing the absence of seed-phrases in Bitcoin core.
