Paul had suggested a solution where filtering out high frequency would not be a MUST but a SHOULD, so as to avoid unwanted filtering when using mathematical oscillators. The group raised issues with this proposal, and an alternative solution was found and adopted: keep filtering required, and add an option for oscillators to be audio or mathematical.

No, there is no reason why not. However if there is going to be an Oscillator source at all, people who want a mathematically rigorous modulation source based on one of Oscillator's supported wave shapes will expect to be able to use Oscillator, and it is a big convenience.
