Mojang is completely opposed to the idea of vertical half-slabs, and other similar "non-standard" blocks; we probably only even have half-slabs and stairs because they were added long ago, before the current regime (aka by Notch, who hasn't been developing the game for the past decade, or even had a stake in it since 2014. I can think of many other features, like many mobs, which would never be added today for various reasons, e.g. "animal cruelty", "too realistic"):
Sideways slabs, vertical slabs, upright slabs, and variations thereof: Features that inhibit natural creativity or can already be done in other ways are not being considered.
In fact, the Minecraft feedback site considers any mention of such ideas as spam that can get you banned(!):

I think vertical Slabs is a terrible idea, it would be a form of cladding and wouldn't look natural at all, especially when trapdoors achieve the same objective and look much better, however... "Double Blocks" or Two Tone Blocks would increase creativity and not "inhibit natural creativity" at all in my view.

Well, this kind of attitude doesn't surprise me at all unfortunately.
Would be very useful for Builders to create detailed designs... Trims, Borders etc...
Recipe - Any two Slabs.
All the best...Ian.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
