Nearest neighbor scaling (sampling) - simple and vital

It is bonkers that all of the bloat that jam into their programs they can't give us nearest neighbor resizing.  Every day Adobe you come up with some new way to be dissapointing. Every day.

I decided to try the methods you describe, do you think this is acceptable for low resolution content? We just want a point/nearest scale option, the options you're giving us DO NOT WORK and LOOK AWFUL. I apologize if I come off as angry, but I've seen this issue brushed off for over five years in this forum, and it's super frustrating that so many of us NEED this feature, but we're ignored. And told to use X options which are “good enough”. Can't we at least get those doing good work on the BETA team to at least do a crack at it? It can be hidden in menus for all we care, many of us are adding hours to our rather typical professional workflows for a workaround that Adobe refuses to address. Again I do apologize for my attitude, and it's not to you or any of the forum managers here, I think you're good people and doing your best. But this “good enough” answer just simply isn't good enough, and as users we're begging you to at least throw the idea at the beta team. I really do appreciate everything you all do, but this feature isn't atypical. I've been in eight different studios where this has been an issue in some capacity. I attached the image showing the workarounds you described, and I think it illustrates perfectly why they're simply NOT WORKING.

Thanks for your time as always. -Sephie

You haven't even bothered to try and understand the issue, have you? 

It's defeating how little Adobe cares nor seems to even try to understand the problem. Programmatically, it's the easiest scaling algorithm there is. My hunch is that they don't want to put it in because someone who doesn't know what it is might complain online that "Premiere makes my video look ugly" when using Nearest Neighbor.

Detail-Preserving Upscaling often produces worse results on the images at the resolutions we're dealing with, I keep seeing Adobe reps recommend that, but it's clear they haven't used it on pixel art. What we want is an untainted nearest-neighbor/point sample option, not a "smart" feature that mangles the low res art we're dealing with. The only real option is using a draft comp from AE, and it's absurd that as users we have to tolerate missing a basic feature like point sampling.
