Wouldn't that revert the primary reason why users wanted this features?
I.e. "I have not installed weak dependency of package X on purpose, so
I also don't want updates of package X to pull them in again"?

It sounds like it's "not possible" to check whether weak dependencies
were satisfied before a transaction (I wonder why? dnf has all the
data here), but then, this feature is basically useless, and only
breaks some behaviour in unexpected ways, unless I misunderstand
something?
