I never understood why this is such a deal breaker. I just export The stl from Openscad then do fillets in Fusion. It's another step but usually only a few mins of clicking.

Let me translate this to software engineering: "I never understood why people have such a problem with Windoze".
The answer to your question in the context of CAD modeling:
Fusion is closed-source.
Their model files are closed-source (specs aren't public)
AutoDesk is one of the worst company in the world when it comes to inter-operability, and this by design. It's just in the DNA of that company.
Their customers is their enemy, they know it full well, but they don't care because the walls of the prison are made of steel and one meter thick.
Your object construction pipeline is guaranteed to become obsolete at some point in the future.
Good luck grabbing an object you built 10 years ago and doing some light editing on it.
Good luck grabbing a parametric design and exporting it to something else, either another CAD package or something to do visualization and do further work on the model in there.
Fusion is a real nice tool. First taste is free. Then you're on the AutoDesk hook for ever.
You may not care about these things, especially in a commercial setup.
But lots of people do.
