Because, it is CoAP in DTLS in stuff.

Between Pledge and Register, it is supposed to look like CoAP-in-DTLS.

Between Pledge and Join Proxy, it's CoAP-in-DTLS (over IPv6-LL)
Between Join Proxy and Register, it's CoAP-in-DTLS-in-"CBORUDP" (over ULA/GUA).

The "CBORUDP" provides for a stateless (i.e. stored in the network) record
of where the packets come from.

In RFC9031, which uses OSCORE, and therefore has security *above* CoAP,
rather than security *below* CoAP, we use the CoAP (extended) token for the state.
(RFC8974).
