it does make sense. The connection string is passed to the underlying SQL client as is.
That means that you don't have to update the node driver code as well as SQL client if they change the connection string capabilities or SQL client version on the PC.

In my opinion it was very lazy for them to not alter it in this use case. It doesn't make much sense.
