Why not rename the UV layer before joining, so that it matches? There's also vertex groups, shape keys, vertex colors, should all those have options to join by index too? I think it's better if they all just join by name instead of adding options here.
If you choose a UV layer in a material that is name based, not index based, so the index should not be considered to have any meaning.
