Yes, these have been considered. As explained by the Mozilla implementer in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10997#issuecomment-2896661453, we need to know about the shared worker's special semantics when it is created, which neither of these allow.

I'll be sure to update the explainer to be clearer on why these aren't possible.
