Make WordPress Multi-sites have option to have multiple databases

Make WordPress Multi-sites have the option to have multiple databases.

So this has been in my mind for a long time and not to mention the various ways to even get close to doing this using plugins like shard-DB, Multi-DB, and many others…
But those plugins are highly complicated and don’t really make a separate DB for each loaded Multisite.

So why can’t there exist a way that after creating a new sub-site, there’s an option to use a separate database for that installation? Of course, the user would have to enable something on the MySQL DB side but this will lend to highly scalable productions in the future.
