@xzczd Consistency would obviously be nice, though analogies with other functions (e.g. Integrate) might lead you the opposite conclusion. In this case, I see the following differences: 1) FourierTransform is undefined for a much larger range of interesting functions than LaplaceTransform increasing the risk that it leads to an unexpected result. 2) Applications I'm aware of for Laplace transforms (e.g. solving differential equations) almost invariably require distribution over Plus. Fourier transforms have a much wider range of uses.

But LaplaceTransform is also conditional (of course looser than FourierTransform), while linearity is implemented in it.
