Thank you for your feedback.
We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason:
For retail pricing, we recommend using Affiliations instead of the customer price groups because the same affiliation can be used to set up special pricing and discounts, unlike customer price group, which require different groups for setting prices and discounts. Thus, you can associate an affiliation e.g. "Story XYZ customer" to the default customer which will be copied immediately to the newly created customers in POS and hence they will get the special pricing and discounts.

Thank you for your feedback.
We released this feature as part of the functionality in 10.0.0. You can now mark an affiliation as "Hide in channels" which will hide such affiliations, however, if you create a special pricing or discount for such affiliations, then they will still be applied on the customers who are associated to such affiliations. Another use case of this feature is that, there are some affiliations which should not be shown to the customer or cashiers should not be allowed to add themselves to avoid fraud scenarios.
