I don't see any particular reason why not, but is there a specific use
case for this or is it just a matter of consistency? Unlike max and
min, we already have operators in this case (and/or). I'd imagine that
if I had a use for any(a, b, c) I'd write it as a or b or c, and for
all(a, b, c) I'd write a and b and c.
