Not quite the same thing.
Adding minor tics on the r axis was trivial; it only required adding the r axis to the set of existing axes to which minor tic processing is applied. But there is no "theta" axis, and no data structures are maintained to describe it. So introducing commands that refer to theta would involve writing new code and adding new data structures to support it.
