If you follow the argument, the cost of implementing this
feature would be minimal. The track and index markers are
obviously on the CD. It's just a matter of putting this
info into the output file.

You might want to look into FLAC (lossless) format. FLAC
supports embedded cue sheets and other metadata like album
cover graphics. You can "rip" a CD to a single FLAC file and
use the cue sheet for playback.

Neat. That makes FLAC a capable means for storing .wav files.

Now to find the ripper that goes with FLAC and wav files and re-creates the
cue sheet.
