Duplicati is too. Although it’s more than one volunteer, there aren’t a lot, and this also limits progress.
That’s been the focus of work leading to 2.0.5.1 Beta, which has a lot of fixes compared to 2.0.4.5/23.
Restoring files if your Duplicati installation is lost can do this from another computer that has Duplicati, however it’s not super simple (needs some info) and not super fast (must create temporary database).
This feature is probably easier to do with server-side help, but Duplicati (and Arq) use simple storage.
Restoring encrypted files from backup to an iPhone is a similar feature request with other explanation.

seems more valuable to me (for those who don’t know or want to Export their own). Good DIY info is in
How to restore data and then setup backup again?
How much easier than the current Direct restore could having a remote config be? Restore doesn’t need the full configuration. If you know enough to get the remote config, what more does restore need? Here again, services that provide their own storage and servers (e.g. CrashPlan) have a big advantage.
