Would you like Shimano to make a 34T singlespeed crankset?
with a chainguard? I mean even if it is still square taper or even Octalink? I know Shimano might not even notice but just wondering what people think.

Chain guards to me are an accessory you can add after the fact. If I am going to have a chain guard, it would be one of those that attaches to the the frame and covers the entire top run of the chain and little more than half the ring. Never cared for the ones on the rings.

Then buy a 34t chainring and chainguard/bash guard and call it good.
My single speed is an old Sakae crank with a 46t ring- its basically what I described and cost $20 in total to compile.

If you run that MTB crank on a road frame you'll need to run spacers because of the shorter shell width and the chain ring will be further out (5mm I think). That affects the chainline which could be a big deal if the bike is actually a single speed with one gear in the back. The q-factor will increase as well.
Pretty much the OP left a lot open for what ever we can imagine. And I sometimes imagine strange things! <grin>

Well, I meant hybrid, but more specifically the ones with 27.5x2.00 tires. I mean for Altus, Acera and Alivio I haven't seen them. They have Nexus or whatever type but with chainrings that are too large.

Low end gearing options have traditonally been lame with few options.

Altus, Acera and Alivio have a 50 mm chainline... I think. However none are 1x. In the MTB group there are a lot of single ring cranks. Find one that has a chain line that gives you about 50 mm or what ever yours actually should be and that have a BB that fits your shell.
Here is a document with all the current specs for Shimano components:
https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/spec
And at the top of it is a link to archives of older products.
Is it correct that what you are wanting to do is make your currently 2x or 3x hybrid 1x on the front?
Or is this just simply wishing something with no need?

Why not just get a bike that has what you want on it and then you won't have to modify it? Or are you doing something unique?
If there is some mod you are wanting to do, then you might get better suggestions if you make full disclosure about most anything you want to do to the bike except for maybe choice of colors.
