So, were there already any patches posted to add such a functionality that were rejected? If not, apparently noone cared _enough_, yet. ;-) You may be the first!
I don't know if there are any _present_ "free developers" willing to pick up this task now. For many (most?) Git developers, submodules simply aren't a priority. For me, they actually currently are, but I probably won't want to use them in your way either (even though I can agree that your sentiments are valid), so I will personally invest my time in doing other things than figuring out the precise semantics these operations should have etc.
