Except we like delivering features by pieces, so unless your proposal is to first deliver global flags with no instance-specific control and later add more control (and I think you're not suggesting that), I don't see any difference between what you're suggesting and what that draft is suggesting. That a one-line under "future work" is doing a lot of lifting is just how we usually do it (and it's okay, people always complain, but we've tried the big-bang approach and this one just works better for us).
So consider that draft as an idea for how the site-specific nullability annotations could work rather than an idea for how nullability could work in the language in general.
