On the one hand, I do agree with you. Once you have the one flag.... you know the rest :)On the other hand, with one extra flag you can already show 2 different menu's. In my life I've made probably over 100 sites. I can't for the life of me think of one where this is not enough.
Sorry to rain on your parade ;)
About 40 - 50% of the sites I've built (and have been built at my
place of work by other people) have 3 or more menus.
Maybe don't call it "show in footer" but "show in secondary menu" or something like that.
I think that a flag like this is entirely to "magical". What exactly
constitutes a "secondary" (or tertiary) menu? With some kind of
"exclude from URL" functionality combined with the existing
show_menu_below_id tag OTOH you can have as many or few "navigation
namespaces" as needed.

Really? Three separate menu's, not just primary menu at the top, its submenu at the side and something in the footer? Well, lucky me with my easy clients then :D
Well, not really. What if I have a Contact page that I want to show both in the primary menu and the footer? With the current functionality it's not possible. With a new "exclude from URL" option you could create a "container page" for the footer, but how will the page show up in the primary menu? It's now a submenu after all. This will get really complicated for clients, as there is no 1-on-1 mapping from tree in backend to menu's on site.
