I have an idea: People that cannot program, code or design should not propose ideas.

Really guy, is not that easy like say: "what if...", you need to go deep in information to know why this is no EVEN practical (long history short, ARM9 payloads are loaded before the CFW, Home Menu, Themes, so having a "homebrew arm9" would be totally senseless and thats why a bootmanager exists...

You are unfortunately wrong. You can easily run arm9 payloads from Homebrew Launcher using Brahma2.

Bootloaders do help in booting into A9LH homebrews and several CFW's like Corbenik and Luma3DS have their own chainloader built right into them.
But there can't be a homebrew launcher from A9LH because Homebrew launcher requires the Homemenu to work. To which A9LH boots long before the homemenu can boot.

It can be used for arm 9 payloads, although we already have that in the form of bootmanager9/bootctr9/whatever it's called. It could use a better GUI though (although I don't know if there are resources to cleanly do that).

Corbenik chainloader is so nice, not only is it easy to customize, but also easy to set up. Just put the files you want to use in the "boot" folder and they show up. Nothing else!

It is nice, but it is too many button presses to get to it. I prefer whatever boot manager I currently have (tbh, I don't remember which one I am using outside of it wasn't updated to v2 by the original coder). I can autoboot into payloads by holding a button, autoboot into corbenik, select from a list I have in a config, or manually open payloads from the sd.
