The feature matrix indicates that not all providers support all features,
but some providers do not throw exceptions if the feature is attempted used.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Maven Surefire provider feature matrix linked in the issue and inspect the Maven Surefire plugin's provider handling. Identify how unsupported features are currently attempted; done means unsupported provider features consistently throw an exception instead of being silently accepted.
