Symmetrical Anchor Point Handles snapping
It would be incredibly helpful if the handles of an anchor point could be positioned symmetrically and equidistant, as shown in the attached image. This feature would streamline the design process by eliminating the need to create half a path, copy it, and mirror it.
Thank you for considering this feature request!

Thanks Egor! I hope to see this feature integrated into native Illustrator

Yes, the native way to do that is something Ai needs.
Meanwhile there are several methods we can use today:
1. A free set of Adjust Two Handles script by Seiji Miyazawa (onthehead / 3flab): https://onthehead.com/ais/path006/
2. A paid plugin PathScribe tool from Astute Graphics: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorscribe/pathscribe-overview (it has a separate 'Shift-Clicking Equalizes Handle Lengths' option
3. There is also a free script from Toshiyuki Takahashi (gau): https://github.com/gau/reshape-to-symmetrical-segment — but it equalizes adjacent handles instead
