If you're looking at the code without that patch series, you're right.

These patches change that however:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20220221095918.18763-7-maxime@cerno.tech/
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20220221095918.18763-8-maxime@cerno.tech/

So, once they have been applied those assignments are made in
__drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset and are no longer relevant here.
