When working on the Token Binding TTRP draft I guess I saw the advantage as being the simplicity or setting, sanitizing, and reading an independent header that's only conveying the token binding info about the TLS connection between the "outside" client/browser and the proxy, (which is the application/service from that client's perspective). That simplicity comes at the cost of not being able to represent that information about multiple hops as would be the case extending RFC7239. The simplicity won the day in that particular tradeoff. I suspect that would be the case with client cert info too. But that's admittedly just conjecture at this point. Although it is, as far as I know, inline with the capabilities of the popular reverse proxies.
