If you are talking about a kind-of "bound branch", I agree.

But I'm not sure this is the issue here, or at least not the only
one.  For example, we could have "C-x v v" do a commit, and then the
next "C-x v v" do a push.

The broader issue is how to generalize RCS-style vc-next-action to
modern dVCSes.  I think the current "generalization" is mostly a net
loss; we can and should do better.
