How come snappytool does not support stream format?

I looked at the history of snappytool and it seems like the tool was purposely rewritten to use block format instead of stream format. What's the reason behind this? Why can't the snappytool support both stream and block format?

I would love to have stream format support because, then, I can use the tool to decode a snappy encoded stream (that is stored in some DB) for troubleshooting and debugging purposes.

s2d supports snappy stream decompression.
