Because there are millions of lines of existing AS and MXML code out there
and those who want to reduce the cost of getting that code to run in more
places can leverage cross-compilation.

Well, that’s the Apache Way.  Folks ask for something, someone starts
working on it, other folks join in.  Several folks I talked to wanted
something like FlexJS, so I started in on it and others have joined.  I
haven’t noticed any requests for the things in your list, and quite
frankly, FlexJS is just more interesting to me.  Feel free to get going on
the things in your list.
