Yeah.. I have no idea why those changes were not upstreamed. The explanation might well be that nobody bothered to do it.
Anyway, Noto Sans has been the default for Chinese since Xenial, so until somebody says otherwise, I'm going to assume that the Chinese users are happy without similar hinting configuration.

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience. So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
