Yes but, a vendor could just as easily cherry-pick the spin-table
enabling lk2nd patches back to their lk implementation and begin to drop
the ongoing burden of supporting the LPM stuff.

We certainly do and should support booting stock lk. There's no sense in
setting the bar to upstream even higher by imposing a chainloaded
bootloader on our hypothetical new user.

The right thing to do is to enable the vanilla path but, give the user
the extra option.
