I'll agree with you *if*  you consider an unclear description of a
feature of a protocol, severe enough that reader of the specification
are not able to build interoperable implementations, as a problem for
which a DISCUSS can be posted.

In my opinion, there are many ways in which document can be unclear
beyond the "motivation for a particular feature of a protocol is not
clear enough."

Absolutely. Note that issues interfering with interoperability or correctness are among the explicit DISCUSS criteria.
