Why not Devanagari then? This Europe-centric point of view bother me.

Also, I've seen a lot of different symbols as subscripts in mathematical and physical articles, like squares, triangles, arrows, etc.

Sure: As I mentioned in another comment, I'd add markers to enable arbitrary super and subscripting.

However, the question I responded to was asking what specifically people were missing in practice, and the examples I gave are things I personally would have used if they had been available.
