> So imagine if the fetch API added this capability to have a body with a GET request. It might not even work on some operating systems anyway, so browsers would be forced to not support it for the sake of consistency.

This is not true, it's the other way around.
If The Fetch API added this capability, browsers and other frameworks would have to start supporting it eventually. Yes, it would be a somewhat painful time at first, but not more painful than it currently is now limiting peoples applications for arbitrary reasons.
