I personally can't come up with any use-case for such connections. In the past it was possible to bind zero, one or many resources on a stream. Thankfully we've settled on one these days, and I don't see a purpose for zero or many. Nevertheless, even with Bind 2 integrating with SASL 2, I don't see that merging the documents will make anything "significantly less complex". It could quite easily be argued that the opposite is true. SASL is about authenticating the stream, and resource binding is more focused on session establishment. We also trend towards smaller specs these days (nobody wants another XEP-0045 or XEP-0060 if we can help it).
