Today’s special is missing…?

Most restaurants offer a menu which doesn't usually change from day to day - it typically lasts for three to six months or even longer. So, in addition, many look to offer by word of mouth or on a blackboard; one, maybe two choices which vary from day to day, perhaps depending on which seasonal ingredients are available. This choice can be called ‘dish of the day’, perhaps ‘fish of the day’, etc. - or simply ‘today's special is…’ or perhaps other local colloquial expressions.
So, hands up all of you who have had the pleasure to visit a licensed premise - either a café, gastropub, brasserie, restaurant or hotel - where you have been seated at a table and after being given the current printed menu. You are then politely informed by the waiting staff of today’s special or specials. The staff member enthusiastically reals off from memory or from a short-handwritten note on the back of their order-pad an enticing offering, that the chef has created that day.

They explain the main ingredient and how the dish has been carefully and respectfully cooked, and served with complementary olive oils, herbs, dressing and seasonal sides, vegetables or salad alike. The special might be exactly what you were wanting to enjoy for lunch of dinner - or it is now the dish that all others printed on the set-menu are to be judged.
Obviously now that I am about to comment on the following (which yes, I have commented on before), it would make perfect sense - but how often does the following happen…? And the answer is - virtually never or at best very little.
After the chef has gone to such length to source the special ingredients. May it be seasonal, say the beginning of the oyster or wild salmon season, or a crayfish or lobster or a well-aged special cut of meat or wild game. Whatever it might be - it is fresh and generous in flavour and the cooking technique is ever so selective to showcase the unique flavours in the special ingredient and resulting dish.
So now - would it not be the natural next thought - a natural next step to think of pairing a wine with the special characters and flavours. To complement this special dish and bring out and celebrate the flavours in such a way that on its own is not quite the same.
Would you think the next words to fall out of the staff members mouth after describing the today's special (would be) - the chef and wine manager have looked at our wine list 'or' for a holiday long weekend have ordered in a special wine to ideally complement and bring out the special flavours in the dish(s) described.
The chef has thought through the best way to cook the dish - knows the unique flavours, has taken the time to described them to the manager, who has then passed onto the floor staff to memories or write down and share with all guests - they have a 'special on today'. So, choosing a wine pairing (to suggest with the special) would be the next logical step…?
