Why would any reservation type make less sense for multipath vs
non-multipath setups/

Well. In general ALL_TG_PT would usually be the preferred method
everywhere. But that assumes:
1) it actually is supported by the target
2) the target actually has a useful concept of the Linux system being
a single initiator, which outside of a few setups like software
only iSCSI are rarely true
so we usually have to fall back to just registering every path
separately.
