You are missing the point of certificate transparency.

We have no idea all the forms that misissuance -- particularly
malicious misissuance -- might take. If it were trivial to detect
"misissuance", browsers would validate certs for "misissuance" and the
problem would be solved.

The point of having a log that includes everything signed with a CA's
key is that analysis of issued certificates can be conducted post-hoc.

Proposals to limit the scope of what logs can log kneecap CT. They
should not be considered.
