Why would that be an accident any more than not listing 100,000 other
characters there? Or to put it more constructively, why should they be
listed? What glyph variation needs to be expressible in plain text?

That does not sound correct. Variation selectors should either affect
the choice of a glyph or be ignored, and their effects should be limited
to characters designated to be affected by them.
