One possible use case for RemoteCommand would be to set different
prompts on certain machines (e.g. if we SSH to the production server,
change the prompt to red). This could be done via sshrc, but that might
be inconvenient or controversial if the remote account is used by many
different people.

if you're using openssh on windows you've likely got enough of cygwin
to run shell scripts as well.

anyway: we're not adding RemoteCommand because it is not needed. 
there's lots of other ways of achieving the same goal: a local script,
remote ForceCommand, remote sshrc, remote shell startup file.

This is not FIXED, at most it is WONTFIX.

But I cannot agree with "it is not needed".

remote ForceCommand, remote sshrc and remote shell startup file can
only support one command per user per host (the first even one command
for all users) and also the SourceForge usecase is NOT POSSIBLE with
it.

local script is possible of course, but you can replace most of the
other ssh Options by a local script also with using command-line
parameters. And the SourceForge case is also there NOT POSSIBLE when
trying to use rsync or scp.

We added RequestTTY, that's why it was marked as fixed.  We don't agree
with your rationale for the RemoteCommand changes and have decided not
to add it.
