Because, not everyone is as stunningly brilliant as you?

To a non-zero population of this list the above looks like line-noise...

Could be worse, could be perl.  In any case, filtering the existing
output does seem better than adding every imaginable formatting option
to dig.

... I *could* maybe see adding a formatting option to produce an
easier-to-parse output header, though, such as:

       ; OPCODE=QUERY
       ; RCODE=NOERROR
       ; QRFLAG=1
       ; AAFLAG=0
       ; TCFLAG=0
       ; RDFLAG=1
       ; RAFLAG=1
       ; ADFLAG=0
       ; CDFLAG=0
       [... etc ...]

While on some level, I'm with you, "IP only" doesn't seem like a corner case.
