Easiest example of this would probably be per-device signing keys and
cellphone substitution. Although in my experience the number of
subkeys are increasing more due to expiration of encryption subkeys
and key rotation.

Tomo: you'll find that my key have a few subkeys at least due to these
practises. It doesn't provide any issue for either keyservers or to
use more generally, but you are correct in that the information is
retained.
