Work with it a bit more, discover reflog, and you'll find that's exactly what happens (until gc) ;)

It could be a bit more visible somehow though, I get the sentiment. Maybe it's more of an add-on to git's role though, at least without plenty else also becoming more visible/GUI-like too.

If it’s only saved until gc then it isn’t something you can rely on

It's saved while it's in the reflog, and then saved until gc. How long things stay in the reflog is configurable.

The bigger deal is that things are never shared simply for being in the reflog - which is probably correct for its intended use but doesn't really fit what's asked for up thread.
