This is now the case in Emacs 28, from NEWS: ** Modifiers now go outside angle brackets in pretty-printed key bindings. For example, 'RET' with Control and Meta modifiers is now shown as 'C-M-' instead of ''. Either variant can be used as input; functions such as 'kbd' and 'read-kbd-macro' accept both styles as equivalent (they have done so for a long time). I'm therefore closing this bug report.
