Background-repeat has a specific meaning and capabilities. Let's not distort the meaning of background-repeat to include "if the <image> is gradient, then adjust the used background-size, apply a transform to that layer of background image rendering, and change the gradient brush such that ...". If you want to making 'repeat'/'no-repeat' a parameter of linear-gradient or radial-gradient (rather than a different function name), that's a reasonable proposal. But let's not do bizarre things with background-repeat.
