It's definitely true that the list of desired features our community has is pretty long and we need to somehow prioritize them (which unfortunately will usually leave some people feel left out). In this particular case, this feature would definitely be very convenient but I wouldn't consider it a major blocker for anyone using Prisma, especially since there are numerous workarounds for it. That being said, we're about to release a new feature in next week's release called Prisma Client extensions which will enable exactly that. I'd love to hear your feedback for this and whether you think that resolves your issue :)
If you're serious about your review then you shouldn't ignore the fact that Prisma has a big blob of Rust code at its core, where other ORMs use standard database adapters from NPM. As someone who has maintained database adapters for other languages, let me tell you that the maintenance burden of that is quite significant. Especially if they ever want to support more advanced database features. If the company behind Prisma ever runs out of money, the project is probably toast.
I mistakenly write 'Python' while I actually meant 'Go', see prisma-go-client here. The idea is the same of course
Just a quick note about this point: We do use the standard Rust drivers for the DBs we support (e.g. tokio-postgres or the official MongoDB driver for Rust) and don't write/maintain our own drivers, you can see this from our Cargo.toml.
