Veto doing that. That information is very useful when debugging rules.

Well the information is there.  In many places.  You are saying you are
consistently using things like spamassassin -t -D | grep __LOWER_E | wc -l
to debug your rules?

If I'm working on a multiple rule that is something complex (like the text variations in the bitcoin extortion and fraud rules) then I want to see all the hits and, more importantly, what hit on each.

Now if the hits were duplicates, and we logged something like:

Jun  7 11:25:44.265 [1569] dbg: rules: ran body rule __LOWER_E ======> got hit: 
"e" (100)

...where we're not collapsing on solely the rule name, I'd accept that.
