There are the rare cases all chat is useful, but 95% of the time all chat is used for insults and hate speech. Why should a game developer include a feature that's a detriment the vast majority of the time?
I could make an argument that it should at least be an option in user-ran Portal servers. Considering we're never getting a server browser, and thus nothing remotely like what we had in previous BF games, the least that could be done is a checkbox at setup of a Portal server to have All-Chat be on or off. Maybe you're trying to test something out with a person on each side [and not over a voice chat like Discord] you literally have no way to communicate with another person.
Not even an ability to say 'Nice shot' when someone hits you with a recoiless in a chopper from across the map.
Those are valid points you make there.
I also thought it was nice to be able to shout out via global chat if you spotted a friends name in the enemy team.
