Think how you start a new submodule. What are the steps you take before you say "git submodule add"? And where does .git for the submodule live at that point? With the current system, you as the submodule originator need to do something different to make your working tree of the superproject match what the others who clone from your public repository. And comparing the two layout, the one originally held by the submodule originator has .git embedded in the working tree, no? All of the above is coming from "submodule" centric mindset. It just is not centric to those who follow what others originated.
