The problem is not in implementation. Of course, it's possible
to display the minibuffer's contents with an appended message
in the echo-area like Isearch does.
The problem is in usability: it would be very annoying if the message
displayed at the end of the minibuffer's contents would not vanish
after some time. minibuffer-message removes the message
after 2 sec by default.
If someone wants the message to hang out indefinitely in the minibuffer,
this is possible, minibuffer-message-timeout is configurable:
minibuffer-message-timeout is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is 2
Documentation:
How long to display an echo-area message when the minibuffer is active.
If the value is a number, it should be specified in seconds.
If the value is not a number, such messages never time out.
But this means that your proposed implementation still should use timers
to remove the echo-area with the appended message after the amount of time
specified by minibuffer-message-timeout is passed (when its value is a number).
