That is a pretty sweeping generalization. There is no picture here of which do and which do not, nor is there an understanding of why the hosting providers would have elected not to allow these. Hosting providers must balance their demands on ram (cache), bandwidth and the rest, in a way that doesn't lend itself to casual users meddling with such settings. If you aren't able to provision software as root, there are good reasons that you shouldn't be tweaking certain modules in httpd, either. Most of the open issues I'm aware of for untrusted administrators have to do with further limiting the options available to such hosting account users, not granting them permissions to set up unwise configurations that will impact other users of the same boxes. We can certainly ensure that modules 'most' includes such things as the expires and deflate modules, if it does not today. Although I'm not a fan of changing those elections for 2.2, since users are used to what they are enabling and disabling. For 2.4? Sure, let's make sure that happens. I suspect you may be overthinking the problem as something that the httpd project can solve for end users of our users. We can't. Our users are the administrators who provision our software, and what they allow to shared hosting users is entirely up to them.
