"In scripts", you are expected to be capable of doing anything fancy with "git cat-file tag", but we add things that turn out to be commonly needed.

What does the proposed "--verbose" produce that makes scripts easier to write (i.e. avoids repeated post-processing of "git cat-file tag" output), and how commonly would what you propose apply to various people's needs other than yours?
