My $0.02:

Firstly, I would think that this information (or part of it) is also
useful for programs.

Secondly, dmesg(8) is unreliable in that there may be so many other
messages that the information you're looking for is not in the message
buffer anymore.

Thirdly, verbose boot is already too verbose. Let's not make it
worse. I think verbose boot should help diagnose boot problems or
device attach and/or device configure problems. Everything else
is non-critical information and should ideally be available in
some form or another when the machine has booted. Reality disagrees
with me, but it's a valid datapoint nonetheless.

FYI,
