The Mathematics and Theoretical Computer ScienceTheoretical Computer Science Stack Exchange sites have a great feature that allows a user to quickly create a citation to answers and questions. This is accomplished by clicking share and then clicking cite:

Example of citation creation from Mathematics Stack Exchange

For ease of copying and pasting the cite feature even provides the BibTex and amsrefs LaTeX formats (something which probably wouldn't be needed on other sites).

Currently I am working on a paper which has heavily referenced the User Experience site. As such having the ability to quickly cite each question / answer would be incredibly helpful. While I agree the ability to easily cite is more applicable to certain SE sites, this seems like a frictionless feature with a lot of benefit.

Is there a reason this feature isn't available across the entire Stack Exchange network? Is this something that each Stack Exchange site needs to decide within its community (i.e. I need to move this discussion to meta.ux.se)? Can the ability to cite question and answers please be added to all other Stack Exchange sites?
