My understanding is that this isn't actually necessary as it's assumed by WoT TD consumers?

Well, yes, but apparently it makes some problems in some use-cases. And it doesn't really hurt. So, why not?

Can you be more specific?

Unnecessary verbosity.

Unnecessary verbosity.

It was mentioned in one meeting. I don't remember anymore. Well, yes it is verbose. It's already a very verbose JSON in general. You can also question JSON for small devices in general. On the other hand the WoT TD doesn't get requested very often. You can cache it easily. Or use a discovery service which caches it. So, I don't see the verbose part as not such a big deal.
