I think what Nicolas is saying is this (^ is point):

* ^Heading

M-S-left/right works here.

* Heading
^content text

M-S-left/right does not work here.  Let’s assume that it does work
here to be consistent with the feature/bug you are requesting.

* Heading

- foo
  - bar
    ^second bar line

M-S-left/right does not work here.  Let’s assume that it does work
here per the feature/bug you are requesting.  Does it move bar, foo,
or Heading?  What if the text is very long and you cannot see where
you are?

  ...
  some very long text
  ^some very long text
  some very long text
  ...

What M-S-left/right does would be very confusing.
