I understand that stomps are dangerous. Kicks though, are no less so. Using the forward thrust kick for example, ever seen someone use that kick aimed at the head of a person who was on their knees with their head pressed up against the wall? Though I guess I do kind of see one point you're making. Most stomps are going to be used in a situation where the person's head and body are up against the floor or the corner or a wall/cage near where it meets the floor, and a stomp is extremely brutal in that case. But a properly thrown low roundhouse, or a low side thrust (which is different kind of stomp by my definition) are no less brutal in those situations.

Also, unless the stomp is aimed directly below or close to directly below your center of gravity, you actually can put your hips into the stomp.

edit: Actually, just tried it out as close to directly below center of gravity as makes sense in a practical application, and you can put your hips into it also, big time xD.
