P.S. going back to your example and applying the imaginary command to just a region would erase the devices for the other regions you don't apply it to, unless you'd still want those in which case Live would have to automate the effects off for the region you bounced if they were to remain for the others instead of deleting the devices. Seems like there's some inconsistency to the way you're imagining this functionality between your successive posts.
Uh, no. Just look at how Logic does it. Or how Bitwig does it. Or how StudioOne does it. In most cases, it simply drops the rendered section onto a new audio track beneath the original track, and automatically mutes the rendered section in the original. In the case of Bitwig, you can actually do it 'in place' for real, as it allows both audio and MIDI on the same track. Though in that case, yes, you'd have the rendered effects running through the track fx, redundantly; which is why I prefer the Logic and S1 approaches, which work perfectly for my needs.
Any of those would do, though, as they are all better than Live's freeze+flatten or real-time recording options. I'm not 'imagining' anything -- most DAW's have figured this out by now.
