You are right that other engines should have this option too coz a lot of people are using chess programs for analysis, especially those amateurs who doesnt understand much chess as masters. All the top engines are already very good in tactics, we can readily have that. Now for us amateurs, what we need is a good evaluation from the chess programs. Of course given enough depth, most chess programs can give good evaluation, but there are still a lot of positions that are far beyond the search depth of top engines on the most powerful hardware, and it is here where chess knowledge is needed. Some engines can still give misleading evaluation and its dangerous for developing players if they rely on that evaluation.
