You could submit your proposal to other journals as well though

If I was a journal, and I was promising to publish a study once it is completed, I'd ask for exclusivity rights.

Which goes to show the whole issue with this idea.

Again that didn't change anything when compared to the current situation.

Journals do ask for exclusivity when they publish things. The don't ask for it just for submission. And the same reasons for why they don't now (nobody would submit anything to them) apply for the OP's idea.

In fact, all the changes only make the life of the researcher easier, because he would only have to present a proposal for the journals to deny. Now he has to complete his research before he gets the denial. (It also makes the life of the journals much harder, for the same reason.)
