Agreed.
The real reason behind the pushback is when trying to support "install
from VCS", such as `package-vc` (which is also supported by
`elpa-admin.el`, tho in less user-friendly way).
E.g. I can't see a clean way to install `git-commit` directly from its
VCS (i.e. recognized by `package-activate-all` and running from the Git
clone) without either forcing the install of `magit` at the same
time(&place) and/or having side-effects like sometimes shadowing another
installation of `magit`.
We may be able to handle it satisfactorily *if* the various subpackages
are each placed in a different subdirectory (and indeed, in that case,
depending on the VCS we may even be able to clone only the relevant
subdir (or maybe clone the whole, but make a worktree that only exposes
the relevant subdir)).

all my packages for the last few years and I find it very
convenient :-)"
