Feature Request: Fill Frame With Placeholder Text

Illustrator features the ability to drag a text block and have it filled with placeholder text. Why doesn’t InDesign have that? In InDesign, we first have to create the text block and then choose Fill With Placeholder Text. Why not mirror what Illustrator does?
