There is absolutely no reason that you couldn't deliver 'media converter'
or '2 port switch' in a SFP casing
Yes, similar devices exist

so it probably just needs more demand

I actually emailed RAD, MethodE and Avago yesterday and pitched the idea.
MiTOP is my exact justification why it should technically be feasible.
I guess it would be easier to pitch, if there would be commitment to buy,
but I don't personally need many units, just 1-2 here and there.

I doubt you'd want to pay MiTOP prices, though.

I think this is a great idea. Maybe not a huge market, but I would buy
them, instead of having to use dumb transceivers.
It would be interesting to have some other smart SFP options too, like
macsec for example...

Or HQoS in a SFP, for that one port which kills your ability to get away
with cheap L3-switch style box 
But tbh the moment you'll need control-plane in the SFP, it becomes
complicated for me to deploy, as then I need to figure out configuration
backups, provisioning support etc.
