In general it's considered best practice to make the file system auto-tune itself as much as possible, because the sad fact is that 99.9999% of the customers aren't going to bother to add any tuning parameters. So there hasn't been a push to try to create something more complex, because it's generally not needed.
Settings via /sys/fs/ext4 are generally for developers as they try to understand how things work, so they can improve the file systems defaults / auto-tuning algorithms.
