John - you've answered why RFCs are not published with page numbers and where/when the community discussion that took place for that decision. You haven't answered whether/how the RSOC engaged the community on the question of whether the tools should let someone produce an RFC locally that has page numbers in it for themselves if they want to. The reasoning for not letting the tools produce such a thing is certainly not explicitly captured in the series of RFCs you point to. Julian has alluded to the principle behind the pressure already, but I'm still at a small loss for why RSOC, or the RSE, should care about what people make for themselves?
