Move the erase tool to an ArcView or ArcGIS Standard license.

Why does the Erase Tool require an ArcInfo or ArcGIS Advanced license other than it's a left over from the days of  Arc/Info Workstation??
Even a less powerful GIS like MapInfo allows users to run functions like erase without an upgraded license.

C'mon ESRI

@DrewFlater Great to hear the Erase tool is finally coming to other versions!

Please also take a look at the other tools with different names but (nearly) identical functionality that are available in ArcGIS Pro Basic tools (Buffer/Intersect come to mind / ->Pairwise...).
Having tools that rely on old backend engines requiring higher license levels than newer tools that rely on a new backend engine is strange. Especially since the "old" tools have a info box stating that "the "Pairwise... tool provides enhanced functionality or performance"...
