> And this is an important difference: some of us don't want encapsulation/tunneling, we want something that can be part of a non-encapsulated packet. There are use-cases where CRH used with encapsulating is the best solution, and there are cases where the packet itself can be steered without encapsulation. CRH allows both, and therefore covers more possible use-cases than RFC8663. This makes CRH a building block that some of us desire.

PS: any IPv6 extension header can be replaced with one or more encapsulations. Even SRv6 can be implemented by encapsulating the packet separately for every segment, like the TOR network does. I don't buy the "you can already do this with encapsulation" argument. If that would become a valid argument then IPv6 innovation is dead.
