Agreed. You also want different screenshots and descriptions for different branches of each project. Centralised storage of this was a complete non-goal when designing AppStream for distros. If you want to standardize where each appdata file is stored in the project (in GNOME, it's sometimes ".", "data", "data/appdata" or "src") that might be a worthy but difficult goal, but saying you can repopulate a standards compliant AppData file from JSON and Markdown doesn't sound very plausible at all. Also, like it or not, people are browsing and installing software using software centers. I don't think people go looking at https://www.kde.org/applications/ when trying to install a new game. Quite literally, there is no "Install" button to be found on that website.
