Well, it is not a bad idea, but it is different to setting individual
components i agree. Basically there is a use case for both of these.

Yes. But the resence of the group opacity prperty 'opacity' does not
preclude being able to set, for example, border opacity using a separate
property.

For examples, see the SVG spec whichhas the group opacity property
'opacity' but also has fill opacity, stroke opacity, opacity on stops on
a gradient, and so forth.
