I guess 'wakeup-source' is a bit of an edge case between hardware capability
(which is certainly required to make wakeup work) and policy.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt2712-evb.dts and
arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt8173-elm.dtsi are two example where
'wakeup-source' is set at the board level for a USB controller.

It's also true that user space can disable wakeup as you said, and a board
could also delete the property in its device tree if desired.

With that I agree that setting 'wakeup-source' at the SoC level provides
more flexibility and is more in line with the DT as hardware description.
