3 + 1 ?

Hi, I'm wondering why the time control 3+1 (ie, three minutes with 1 second increments) isn't one of the selectable blitz time controls when you quick-start a game. In my opinion it is the closest equivalent to the otb Fide standard 3+2 (becauseit takes around a second longer to physically make a move otb and premoving isn't possible). I'm currently trying to train for a 3+2 otb tournament but it's hard to get games at 3 1 (because few people manually enter those parameters). What do people think?
Whats the problem with manually entering 3+1 yourself?
I don't really see the difficulty in getting a 3+1 game you would probably be accepted in 5 seconds
Edit: I noticed that the FIDE standard rapid of 25 10 is also missing
Boi it's just one second it can't be this important. 3-2=1, right?
I completely agree with Matt - at the elite level we need a 3+1 setting on the homepage ASAP
