You are right that most categories would have a lot of articles; but I don't
think that that's not fruitful. If someone needs a list of all cities
featured on WIkipedia, there it is; if someone needs a list of all cities in
Germany, it could be made. With current system, one is fine with a list of
all cities in Germany but there is no way at all of getting a list of all
cities.
This argument is fallacious. You say "if someone needs a list of all
cities in Germany, it could be made", referring to a hypothetical future
feature. Then you say "there is no way at all of getting a list of all
cities", but it is obviously possible for there to future feature for
that too (display a category and all sub-categories).
