An update to this topic
New Mac and iPad OS will offer PDF form functionalities. I’m not sure how good these will be, but they may be enough for 90% of needs. If there is a place for Affinity publisher to get into this facility, then perhaps sooner rather than later AND with an enhanced feature set would be very helpful

Yes it would be very nice and another chance to move away from the Adobe orbit.
I do suspect that this is not a trivial addition, otherwise it would have been done before now.
As the print world recedes for the majority and documents become digital only (we are nearly there I think … for 'casual work' but not glossy paper magazines) then a well designed interactive form is a real need. The workflow of: download a form, print it to paper, complete the fields with ink, scan the paper and email is a slow and inefficient hangover from the past.
I am an optimist and the guys at DT keep delivering (maybe for this new year or next Christmas?)

Perhaps as you say, this feature appended as a paid add-on for those who need it. It would be extra work for Affinity to do this and they do deserve to be recompensed.
In the end it is a commercial decision. I for one, will keep my fingers crossed and stay optimistic
