#persist selected hw profile in nvram?

I don't know why it's not a thing yet but why is there no option to persist selected hw profile in nvram so that upon keyboard power cycle it has the correct profile selected? Seems like something trivial in implementation and also this barely consumes one byte for storage (one bit for config whether to persist current profile as current + profile select (two bits since there are only 4 slots))

there is no nvram. we got flash, spi flash and sram

#

storing this would need to go to spi flash afaik

#

historically we reset to profil;e index 0 as there was an analog and digital split. analog profiles could disable keyboard keys meaning you could lock yourself out of your pc if you switch to that and require to enter a password to use your pc. to prevent this we made it always boot to profile 0. as we removed this split we cant guarantee this anyway and thus we will probably also store the last selected profile in the future.
