Has anyone from the Figma team explained why the Remote MCP exposes creation tools (such as generate_figma_design and create_new_file), while the Desktop/Local MCP is mostly limited to design-context/read tools?

Is this an intentional product/architecture decision, or are there plans to bring those capabilities to the Local MCP as well?
