In the Savage Worlds set if you create a character you can drag and drop it into the NPCs and it automatically makes a npc. With how easy it is to make characters vs the hand jam that NPCs are I wish this was included in not only this but in the DND 5e set.

The data structure for PCs and NPCs is quite different in Pathfinder. It would be a lot of work to do this. Whereas in Savage Worlds it is basically the same - hence why there is the ability to convert within the ruleset. You could add your request to the FG wishlist here: https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/

If you're struggling to enter NPCs in FG, there are tools that help you create NPC records in FG from a standard statblock:

That was not the case when the feature was built into the ruleset ;) lots have changed since. I would also say it's not that challenging to do but still it requires work effort. The big question is do you really need it?
