Do I understand it correctly that this was not a purposeful design choice, but rather something that could not be implemented for Dynare 4.3.0?
Yes indeed.
Because I have now programmed code that averages the moments over replications and allows to read in the binary file. We could add that to Dynare to give the user control over the simulation replications. Currently the option is without value as i) the replications are not used in any computation and ii) the way to read in the binary file is not documented so the users cannot access replications to do their own computations.
Such an improvement could be useful. Don't hesitate to push it to your personal repository so that we can review and merge it.
Best,
