WTH Why is initial: not available on Toggle helper (input_boolean)

Archive Month of "What the heck?!" 2022

since the move to UI for Helpers we can not set initial: to them via the UI and have to resort to Yaml:

input_boolean:

  just_started:
    name: Just started
    initial: on

Aware booleans restore state. However, for certain booleans we need a fixed startup state, and not rely on restore.

Please add initial: to the UI, so we can move all booleans to UI and leave yaml.
