So why does it matter at all?
The point is to make things work better for the set of layer-2 that use PPP.
That set is rather large.

That's an interesting statement, which I don't think is at all relevent.
On what authority to make this statement?

The document explains that this is about announcing capabilities so that the
Layer-3 configuration mechanism can be tuned better.

We could do this in layer-3, but we usually need to decide, (in a BMS),
BEFORE starting the RA daemon, if we should be allocating a /64 to the link or not.
