Profiles may or may not be "exclusive" of other profiles, i.e. some profiles may forbid the use of their elements in combination of other profiles, while others (in a typical open-world fashion) will allow such combined use.

Note from previous title: derived from the previous one: it's rather trivial, but one never knows…

Apparently this one was rejected. Frankly I'm not sure why anymore. @kcoyle would you have a recollection of this?

I can't guarantee I remember any discussions correctly, but I am reasonably sure we currently have no supporting Use Case for such a requirement. It seems to be a speculation about possible combinatorial models with no real world examples or requests to consider it to meet some need.

The discussion is in this meeting minutes: https://www.w3.org/2018/07/17-dxwg-minutes. That supports what Rob says, that we didn't have a use case for it.
