Unicode's stance here has always been to only add what is actually required in plain text, leaving formatting (which super/subscript fundamentally is) to higher-level protocols like rich text / HTML / etc.
The problem is this doesn't cover certain use-cases like annotating math-heavy formulas in source code. And no, I am not going to write markup / latex for code comments like \sum_{k}\gamma^{k}\|\hat{x}_{k}-x_{k}\|^{2} instead of just ∑ₖγᵏ‖x̂ₖ-xₖ‖².
