I find the argument convincing but maybe I am looking at things a different way. The point as I see it is that booting with a late mounted /usr is not perfect and does not work perfectly in all cases. I think the developers are perfectionists and are deeply unhappy with caveats or corner cases or less than 100% reliability.
