A discussion on this aspect can be subjective. I understand the mindset behind this old implementation & am ok with it. If multiple subtests are together constituting a suite's value, then they're just low-interest, implementation detail. Individual subtests values aren't that important.
But if they don't constitute a suite's value, then they are individual, independent tests. Their individual values are actually important. These tests are mature enough to display themselves, without the need of a parent signature/test.

Either way, if a mindset change is required, it'd likely imply big fullstack changes, backed by big efforts.
