I see several reasons:
1/ it is a bad idea: balloons make the original text unreadable thus the
comparison between old and new text is more difficult. That is my opinion and I
guess I am not alone.

2/ nobody is motivated enough to implement this change.

3/ LibreOffice is not a clone of MS-Office and it is not motivating to ask for
cloning existing software: we should search for something that would be better
than current LO and better than MSO.

Best regards. JBF
