It just depends on how much of it is doing integer arithmetic. Many
applications are bounded by I/O and memory bandwidth and wouldn't be
hurt by integer arithmetic resulting in significantly slower code.

Why would it be a language feature? It's not an operation Rust needs
to expose at a language level because it can be implemented as a
library type.
