I am not fundamentally opposed to the parseopt conversion, but I was

Because ls-files is a plumbing, it has somewhat lower priority for user
friendliness than any other patches currently in-flight on the list; hence
it has been backburnered.  It still is kept in my Inbox.

Makes sense, thanks for the answer.
