I think it is very important for the signal to be unable to control upstream effects, such as remaining time. One of the motivations for timed AbortSignals is deadlines: "all work must complete in this given time, any response past then will be ignored". If a receiver of a signal is able to simply reset a deadline then it severely limits the efficacy of passing such a value.
