My view/guess: because the subheadings are an integral part of the
content of the containing item.
Wouldn't you agree? It seems to me like a fairly fundamental aspect of
the Org model.
That said, perhaps your use case is one where you've realized that
subheadings don't actually belong to the containing item? In that case,
what could make more sense is to promote (or kill and yank elsewhere)
all of the wrongly placed subheadings. You could promote an individual
subheading with M-S-left, or kill and yank it with C-c C-x C-w and C-c
C-x C-y, but I don't know if there's an easy way to repeat that over all
subheadings.
Another possible approach: what about demoting just the containing
heading with M-left and then killing/yanking that elsewhere?
Regards,
Neil
