It's basically a legacy system with recent development pretty well limited
to modifying existing reports, which is normally sufficient. The community
seems to have had more expertise with reports in the past -

> GnuCash has a scope... [of] basic accounting for personal and very small
business use, where very small means sole proprietors with no employees
(GnuCash has no payroll module). The multiple ownership model of this
change falls outside that scope. Furthermore it caters to a very narrow
single-nation use case that would be very difficult for the current core
team to maintain.

Many of the "sole proprietors" are likely partnerships, many probably
interested in dividing amounts reported by Gnucash (ie fairly wide use
case). Fortunately, GnuCash is very flexible allowing integration of user
reports. It wouldn't be hard to set up in a separate [external] repository
so these reports could be added to GnuCash by these users. It could even be
mentioned in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Using_GnuCash

GnuCash works fine for payroll, it's just with no payroll module the
calculations, entry, and reporting are manual.
