Because you can write something more meaningful than "1:2:1" when using
a CUSTOM_ID.

CUSTOM_ID is built-in, without implementing anything.

IMO, Org has enough internal link types. 

In particular, this one brings little value compared to CUSTOM_ID. It is
fragile wrt re-ordering, refiling, capture... It may be a headache to
export, too, because "1.2.1" may mean something entirely different once
non-exportable trees have been pruned.

No offence intended, but it really sounds like a false good idea.
