Why isn't ntsec a mount option?


The standard reason.



Which is the standard reason?
1. It's that way because nobody has coded it yet.
2. It's that way because the core team analyzed it and believe it is best done the way it is.




The standard reason is "because we're mean".

To answer your question about which of the two options above explain
why 'ntsec' is not a mount option, the answer is both.  Of course, if
someone contributes (1) and it's convincing, then that just means that
(2) now applies to this new implementation.  :-)
