[will-change] Should will-change on non-animatable properties create stacking context?

"will-change” is obviously geared towards hints regarding properties that can be animated.

However, the stacking context-creation side-effects of will-change aren’t restricted to
animatable properties. According to the spec, "will-change: position” and
"will-change: transform-style” both create SC.

Is this desired behavior? I’m not sure I see any benefit of having will-change create
SC for non-animatable properties.
