Proper Middleware support

It would be great if CI4 has a feature like middleware in Laravel. I know we have filters in CI4. But that feature is not flexible and not well thought out.

Unless the ideals have changed, the core team was very much against middleware back when CI4 was being developed.

Really? any idea why?

And are they think their filters implementation is better than Laravel's middleware?

Since CI4 core team very sensitive for breaking changes, CI4 filters will be sucks forever.

I wish their mind get changed.
