Even if it would be a bad idea.
Why can’t we control how our organs behave ?
Like “hey send more / less of this / that” or “please consume this already ingested fat now instead of the incoming fat” or maybe “please ejaculate now / later”.
We have an “indirect” control through our thoughts but why not a “direct” one ?

We can control the organs which are useful to control. You can stop breathing for example because if you wanted to swim it is helpful to not inhale water. But organs which would not have a survival benefit to control aren’t under conscious control. Think about if a squirrel had conscious control over their heart muscle; what could it possibly do with that which would be good, or even non-lethal?
Traits which get organisms killed generally aren’t passed on.

Again, how would that be beneficial to a dumb animal? They aren’t capable of making good decisions about that and no mechanism to do such a thing was developed.
