Logically it might make a lot of sense to move it in under something more
broad.
But i can't conceive of an actual use for it.

When would i ever want to color all data a single color?
When would i ever want a snippet that only works in all of data, including
strings?
It just wouldn't ever get used like that, afaik. And would unnecessarily
complicate the user's experience.

However, the contents of arrays and objects and tables and all kinds of
other random data structures would certainly all be grouped together in a
theme all the time.

The most obvious use I can think of for a meta.data type of scope is
to grab the current data structure in a single cut/copy.

Well, how would you do that?
You could use the Select Current Scope action.
But that would let you select the current scope no matter what it is, string or data.string.
