Individually programs that can extend or disable parts of bash completion as needed.

Sure. There is an infinite number of ways you can improve the completions.
But the fundamental complaint I was making there is that it increases complexity and makes it more inexplicable when it does fail.
Programs extending or disabling parts of it increase the complexity further and potentially just exacerbate the problem, because it makes the behavior even harder to mentally model.

Providing more functionality always increases complexity. I think it is manageable in this case and it is optional anyway.

It does not matter: life is too short.
