WTH: why can't we use the shopping list in automations?

We can use services to add and remove items, and mark and unmark them as complete, but we can’t use that list in any automations?

For example if I want to create an automation that sends a notification to my phone when I’m at the shops with the items in the notification, all I can do right now is create a notification that opens the list

A sensor would be nice, where the state is a list of active items on your list, with an attribute for items that have been marked as done.
