That's more natural and flexible, it > seems to me. I think this would not work well with the intended semantics, rendering and behavior of <details>. See the example in the spec that includes pictures. It also does not cover <figure>. Your proposal would require every element to potentially have expand/collapse rendering and behavior based on whether it contains <details> children, which is both painful to implement and hard to understand.
