For sure! But considering Mastodon has most of the content that would be quote posted this way and most of the users who would be subject to it, and they are working on it (at their own pace), I think it would be tactile to see how it is implemented in Mastodon first and then proceed from that.
It could for example be that Mastodon users will be able to opt out of quote posts in general or in specific posts. If so, this should be respected in other implementations as well. And in general, it’s just nice to have things consistent, and when it’s taking the Mastodon team so long to implement I suspect it’s because they’re devoted to making sure they do it right. :)
No doubt they’re taking their sweet time with it. Then again, knowing the Mastodon user base, whenever it is implemented people will probably go crazy and think it’s the biggest invasion of privacy since the gestapo.
The team also made significant progress on the specification for Quote Posts. It needs a few minor changes, but we expect to publish it for comment in February, and start implementation right away. The current plan is to publish Mastodon 4.4 with support for displaying Quote Posts, and then add authoring in Mastodon 4.5.

Quote posting is already available on Misskey, Friendica, and Akkoma.
Threads also has that feature, and they use the same standard as Misskey.
Even Mastodon clients like Icecubes and Phanpy do quite posting.
At this point, it makes no sense to wait on Mastodon to implement features.

By the way, here’s from Monday’s development update:
At a certain point, developers need to ignore the HOA.
