Can't the package checking problem be solved by adding packages that are deliberately not intended to be in comps either to a group that is defined not to show up in the UI (that might need some extra work on the schema and the tools though), or in a completely separate file from the comps file that exists for the purpose of doing this checking?
hidden groups already exist.
Isn't this a no-brainer then?


Only if you assume that it is a good idea to list all packages in comps.
Some people disagree with that.

The only underlying objection I recall seeing is that adding all packages to comps presents too many choices to users, and that problem doesn't happen if hidden groups are used; did I miss some other reason?
