I think it's worth saying that one of the main motivations to support MPEG-2 Transport Streams at all is to be able to take stuff 'as is' from environments that use them, and re-purpose it. That argues for the minimum number of restrictions. If people are going to be asked to transcode, then a change of format might also be possible (though 'using existing tooling' also comes into play). It's one of the reasons that HLS uses transport streams, I think. So, having the possibility of using essentially unconstrained TSs -- possibly with consequences that can be averted by adopting constraints -- makes sense.
