That's a bit of an apples-and-oranges comparison. Illustrator and Fusion operate on entirely different principles. By and large, Illustrator is "resolution independent" because it just doesn't care about pixels. Fusion is resolution independent not because resolution doesn't matter, but because it internally converts distances to normalized screen coordinates. But and the end of the day, it's still all pixels.
Alignment tools aren't a technical impossibility, but the procedural nature of Fusion image makes it difficult to come up with an easy-to-use and generalized solution. A nice first step might be a guides system for the viewport. That could be independent of the node structure, and therefore easy to snap things to—centers, pivots, and DoD edges.
I'm sure there are a lot of ways Fusion could be nicer for mograph. That's not a field I do much with, though, so I hesitate to offer many thoughts on the topic.
