If you feel the need to add such detail, you can already do so: adding cause of death to the "Reason" field for the Death vital, as a Custom Fact (under Other Information) or even as a Note in the Collaboration section.
However, you should bear in mind this is a SHARED tree, and that (other) close relatives of the deceased might not be as happy as you to have the cause of death displayed so openly. Okay for a relative who died over a hundred years ago, but what about a relative who died quite recently - perhaps through taking their own life? Should FamilySearch really be making it easier to highlight such a fact by adding an additional feature, viz. a "cause of death button"?

I support this request. I would add a "Cause of Death" field in the Death event that is active only if not living.
"Cause" is already a qualifier in GEDCOM X, so this isn't a barrier to addition of this data to the API.
