Not only is it not "obvious" that "something should be there", it is not true.

You are confusing "Requires=" and "Requisite=".

Some developers and some users are not native English speakers.  In some cases, systemd terminology can be ... less than optimal, while, in other situations, users will simply misunderstand the conventional meaning of words.

And, as I mentioned, "Requisite=" is broken in systemd, so that is a different issue.
