My guess is that this isn't implemented because of the security concern of having the password saved in shell history. There's a proposal in #27801 about reading the password from an environment variable. This may or may not be more secure depending on how you set that variable.

I checked the #27801 ticket. this ticket was owned by another person, can I create a pull request for reading the password from environment variable in createsuperuser management command?

-1 on adding a password CLI argument.

In addition to the shell history, CLI arguments can be viewable through other processes on the system. For example ps -ef.
