I'm not familiar with the literature on the subsampling bootstrap, so what I'm about to say may not entirely apply here. However, it is worth noting that a lot of what StataCorp does is not simply implementing estimators and methods, but is making sure that the theory behind them is sound, and that the various things users might do once the method is implemented in Stata are reasonable. Thus, even though it might be fairly simple for a user to patch an existing command to accommodate a specific situation (for which they are willing to take full responsibility), it might take StataCorp longer to verify for themselves that the enhancement is really something with which they feel comfortable.
