Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point.

In my opinion, this feature is rather useless and I don't think any mainstream 3D engine supports extra object pivots either. It's a very, very rare use case for artists to re-use the same model and apply different textures to it. The reasoning behind this is that animation is imported in game engines mostly from characters.
