The "user-otp" and "factory-otp" compatible string just depicts a

In hindsight it looks like we are mixing 2 different purposes of 'which
instance is this' and 'what is this'. 'compatible' is supposed to be
the
latter.
Maybe there's a better way to handle user/factory? There's a similar
need with partitions for A/B or factory/update.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. It has nothing to with
user and factory provisionings.
SPI flashes have a user programmable and a factory programmable
area, some have just one of them. Whereas with A/B you (as in the
user or the board manufacturer) defines an area within a memory device
to be either slot A or slot B. But here the flash dictates what's
factory and what's user storage. It's in the datasheet.
