Meson subprojects just have too many problems and limitations and I can foresee the maintenance headache and the future incoming false-positive bug reports if we start using meson subprojects. Comparing to the simplicity of git submodule which also has much better notifications to help people understand when the submodule is not in sync and how to remedy to it. See commit gimp-data@c364adb explaining the main reasons in detail.
