On some other Lego related sites, you can see the original MSRP/RRP of sets,
which is just a nice feature for historical purposes. However, Bricklink does
not have this function.
I know this isn't really a feature that needs to be added, but it would greatly
enhance the user experience of the site.

I believe the original MSRPs are recorded on Brickset, it's pretty quick
to look up

Why would you need it here? Other reference sites have this data if you need
it. Even though you don't seem to have used it, the main function of bricklink
is as a marketplace. What matters on a marketplace is current pricing, not recommended
prices from many years ago.

I would like to see this feature restored. From a historical perspective, it
is useful to have this information on BL.

Why is it useful to have it here? Look it up on other sites if you need it.

There is also the problem of what to record. The USA price, the UK price, the
EU price or the DE, FR, NL, etc prices when they were different. And many other
countries. Then there are sets where the price changed during the production
run.
