dependencyInsight only displays primary variants silently

[Vampire]

I was majorly confused when outgoingVariants showed

Variant apiElements
Attributes
    - org.gradle.libraryelements     = jar
 Secondary variants (*)
    - Variant : classes
       - Attributes
          - org.gradle.libraryelements     = classes

but dependencyInsight did claim it searched for the secondary variant, but did only find the primary one:

> Task :foo:dependencyInsight
project :
   variant "apiElements" [
      org.gradle.category            = library
      org.gradle.dependency.bundling = external
      org.gradle.usage               = java-api
      org.gradle.libraryelements     = jar (compatible with: classes)
      org.gradle.jvm.version         = 11

      Requested attributes not found in the selected variant:
         org.gradle.jvm.environment     = standard-jvm
   ]

project :
\--- compileClasspath

Unless I was told that this is a limitation of the dependencyInsight task, I thought I did something wrong and do not benefit from the secondary variant that does not need to build the jar for compiling consumers. But actually it worked as expected when compiling and the jar was not built.

So I'd like to ask for either "fixing" the dependencyInsight task for supporting secondary variants, or at least to add some hint to the output of the task (and probably to its documentation, but only the documentation is not visible enough imho) that secondary variants are not considered by that task.
