That's probably the consensus view.  Personally, I think creating
composite types through 'create type as' was a mistake...we probably
should have gone through create table instead with some special syntax
for storage-less tables aka composite types.

Even if I'm right though, I don't think that mistake can be taken
back, so all that functionality needs to be reimplemented in create
type somehow.
