That it didn’t select everything was only the default on Linux, to accomodate the folks using the middle-click clipboard (primary selection).
But yeah, I don’t remember, if there was a good reason why they removed it. I think, they replaced the URL bar implementation and just have this feature in the new one. So, maybe they’d accept a PR?

That rather understates the insult that the current behaviour is to Linux users. There was not a good reason for removing the option to have it work properly, which was available for many years. The reason given was entirely nonsensical. But no, they will not accept a PR. It was a contentious issue and opinions were hardened in the flame wars that followed.
