This is not so much about changing the syntax but rather about the
common programming practice to define and change/modify a variable or
constant in one place only.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar BOL "^") ; once
(looking-at (concat BOL "foo")) ; many times
#+end_src
instead of
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(looking-at "^foo") ; many times
#+end_src
The need to abstract from the Org star '*' too would only arise from
need to deal with Emacs Lisp coding conventions (;;; Level1 Headline),
which is a (unfortunately very important) special case. In all other
cases it would be only about BOL ("^") and EOL ("$") in regexps.

That means that Org headlines are much more 'intelligent' than outline
headlines (they know about todos, priorities, tags, timestamps,
properties, planning, clocking, being archived etc.) and one could
have that kind of intelligent headlines in other modes too with a true
org-minor-mode.
