... No idea why the devs cant implement this simple thing into the code for the site.

Have some patience with the MG developers—it’s not as simple as it might seem.
The option to "Show/Hide modules that are in the current rack" could probably be implemented fairly quickly.
But a full Rack Diff Wizard is a bit more complex.
A proper concept would need to be worked out first:
- What should the input interface look like? Maybe two dropdowns where you select two racks to compare?
- Should it even allow selecting multiple racks at once?
- Do you want to see only the modules that are in all selected racks (the intersection)?
- Or only the ones that are not in the intersection?
- What should happen with the result?
- Should you be able to create a new rack from the comparison?
- Should there be a JSON export that you can manually import as a new rack?
- Or should all modules be tagged with "unracked" and the filter options have to be extended?
So many questions...
You could try drafting a solid concept for it. That would definitely increase the chances of the MG developers implementing it at some point!
