You don't know lol
Is it really an argument? I don't feel like it is lol, we all know each other well xD
You are going after the wrong organization. PGN standards are not under the control of chess.com. You can't just add crap will-nilly to the format or it breaks every other PGN reader out there. You have to change the entire standard...which is obviously a Big Deal, and that's why flavor of the month variants are not going to happen for PGNs unless they stand the test of time for years or even decades.
Kramnik/DeepMind and their push for no-castling chess is a very recent development.

Really? Interesting. I never knew that
Yep, it would be like adding your own formatting to Microsoft Word's doc format. The rest of the world would be saying "WTF are you doing? We can't open any of your files...". 
I mean, you could add the variant in the head of the pgn and then the pgn reader has to see that and everything's fine. chess.com could do that, it's not super difficult.

You don't embed meaningful code into comments/headers/footers etc. that just leads to the same mess in the end when those janky workarounds become common practice, except worse because now everybody has to learn how to work with the janky workarounds, and gnash their teeth at the inevitable limitations.
This is why HTML and browser-based programming is so screwed up. HTML was never designed for running sessions, or passing around database result sets, or pretty much anything beyond display/presentation.

True, but I really can't imagine the annotation of chess games to be difficult. The correspondence chess annotation "7163" instead of Ng1-f3 works for any variant, you just have to program the programs reading the annotation to see what variant is played and which moves are legal. the annotation format doesn't have to do that.
