If a table does not support the reference index and someone extends it, 
then the latter is responsible to write the code necessary for it.

TYPO3 has tools to rebuild reference index but it means reading every record in the database and may take hours. Why break something if you can avoid it by using the API?

I do not know why this reference index is so important. If it is 
important, then it should be supported. If it is not needed in most 
cases, then I see it not justified to compare it with a door into a 
house. You could repair it over a cronjob once a month.
