QoL Request: Can we pet the hogs and spitters?

Ever since switching creature hostility to "retaliate", I've gone from fearing the creatures of satisfactory to enjoying seeing them in my exploration. It's fun to see a herd of hogs just moseying on by while I harvest a power slug. I just wish I could show these gentle giants my appreciation.

It would be so awesome if non-hostile modes enabled a "pet" interaction for hogs and spitters. Nothing crazy, just a "pat-pat".

... I don't want to pet the stingers though... no thanks..
