It's actually for lower-bitrate content.

It is not hard to configure Opus to always use a constant frame size (in fact,
this is what all the current tools do by default... right now you would have to
write some custom code to be able to change it). But that can only be enforced
if you control the encoder.

In practice, they would line up on any transient. Depending on the content,
that may not be often enough (it's also possible to construct pathological
streams where they would _never_ line up).
