That's the part that seems strange to me - that particular dynamic method sounds like it is limited to only draw a curve one in just that one particular way, by through points only. A lot of times that's actually a worse way to draw curves than control points because it tends to be easy to make kind of bulgy and wiggly shapes.

It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me to make such a kind of hard coded "one drawing method only" mechanism like that, it's lacking in flexibility.

I guess that it could be possible to make a specialized different command that would do that in MoI though (pick some points and build a curve and do a revolve on every point pick) - having it hard coded to just work with one kind of drawing method would make it a lot easier to implement as a plug-in. But it would be a lot easier to do it as some kind of new special purpose command rather than trying to incorporate it as some kind of option within the existing Sweep command.
