This is not a "fact".
If you add configuration in your git config to fetch and push the refs,
then they are propagated.
Just because you disagree with the current interface or defaults doesn't
mean the design is wrong. I hear the same arguments against submodules,
which is a shame because the message isn't getting through to people
that the porcelain can and should be extended to make people's lives
easier. It's just that instead of second-guessing what shape they
should take, the design and plumbing are written so that people can
write scripts to make it work.
It's a slower path, but you end up with a better tool at the end of it.
