What I mean is bcache in this way stays bcache-without-a-cache forever, which
feels odd; it still goes through the bcache code, has the module loaded, keeps
the device name, etc;

Whereas in LVM caching is a completely optional side-feature, and many people
would just run LVM in any case, not even thinking about enabling cache. LVM is
basically "the next generation" of disk partitions, with way more features,
but not much more overhead.
