Enhancement Request - Parents as Criteria in Reports

I would like to have parents be used as filtering criteria in reports without 1. Showing the parent row which is generally useless and 2. The need for a helper column.

Yes this is easily solvable with a helper column and the Parent() formula, but this is an ugly solution that fills up the sheet with more columns and more formulas that can potentially break.

I have submitted an enhancement request via the form as well.
