Carsten Ziegeler resolved SLING-7800.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Clients can easily use the converter with the value map. So there is no real need to complicate our implementation

> The OSGi Converter (https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.converter.html) is a utility for converting an object into anything.
> In the context of Sling resources it might be very handy to use the converter to convert a resource (or the properties of a resource) into a data model (interface).
> Therefore we could think about supporting the Converter directly out of the box in adaptTo as all implementations inherit from the SlingAdaptable class.
> In order to get the properties of something, an adaptTo Map.class could be used.
> Attached is a simple patch demonstration this.
> This could be further improved, like leveraging the Resource#getValueMap method etc.
