The reason I deliberately chose to use capital letter in "add -A" even
when we do not have "add -a" was exactly so that interested parties can do
"commit -A" to match it (and "commit -a" is doing the _right_ thing out of
the box, and its behaviour will not change). Hopefully you can take it as
a strong hint that I personally do not think "commit -A" is without merit.

So far, nobody stepped up to do it, though. I have been taking it as a
sign that "commit -A" is not one of the commonly desired features but is
probably closer to your "odd/unusual". It's up to the user/developer
community to change that ;-)
