There's no reason to implement it as it's done in the legacy tools. It just isn't useful at all, except for some rare cases (where you drag to the opposite direction compared to where every track points to - i.e. almost never). It just creates new segments which require severe fixing, it's easier to draw new tracks.

But real PnS footprint drag which drags tracks along it is really needed. If we consider the whole amount of work to design a board, moving footprints take often very much of it because you have to estimate, take measurements, drag existing lines or redraw them etc. All the work previously done is wasted.
