And what would one expect from the absolute variant (currently with
C-u) that also resets to the depth of the heading at point?

My point of view is different: First this current behavior is clearly
intended as an alternative for the absolute `C-u 3 S-Tab' but without
the need of counting manually, just like outline-mode-`C-c C-q' (hide
everything lower than heading level _at point_). Second I prefer to
keep things simple and don't like to think about bothering what the
initial view depth of
* 1
** 1.1
*** 1.1.1
** 1.2
*** 1.2.1
should be, when viewed as
* 1
** 1.1...
** 1.2
*** 1.2.1
with point on 1. Here I prefer to hit C-> repeatedly instead of an
automatic guess that can never know if one wants to see even 1.2.1 or
not.
