Interesting. For me it probably be the opposite.

e.g If I had a task called "Project 1" I would expect it to be
automatically marked done when all sub tasks are marked as cancelled or
done.

In addition, a lot of people like marking each task with notes as they
change state so I think the onus is on the org user to take
responsibility to manually mark sub components - it is here (on the
individual items of work) that a lot of work goes into things like which
set of states a task can be, notes, scheduling times, clocks etc.
