I am saying that they need to be treated differently, and with more
care.

> How do they differ from, say 'subject'?

"subject", which refers to :description property, only contains a single
string, no Org syntax. OTOH, TITLE and AUTHOR keywords have their
contents parsed and, as such, can contain parsed objects. E.g.,

  | keyword     | value       | property value             |
  |-------------+-------------+----------------------------|
  | DESCRIPTION | some *text* | "some *text*"              |
  | TITLE       | some *text* | ("some" (bold ... "text")) |

See also `org-element-document-properties'.

They are not included by default in Org 8 because they were not included
in Org 7 either. I don't know the historical reason, though.
