I strongly oppose such a change. With that change: (i) font-lock-fontify-region would no longer be fontifying the region specified by its paramters, but a different (possibly larger) one.
Note that jit-lock doesn't care about any "parameters". It fontifies whatever redisplay or a timer triggered function ask it to fontify.
Both of these things would make debugging a hook function much more difficult than it already is. Determining the region to fontify and actually fontifying it are two logically distinct operations. They shouldn't be intermingled with eachother.
With jit-lock you don't determine "the region to fontify". You only determine regions that might need (re-)fontification when they are redisplayed or - with stealth fontification - emacs is idle.
