sadly, some 3rd party src packages don't quite do the right thing with their kernel include paths and still depend on the include2/asm symlink to find the platform header files. i see your point about include2 being somewhat redundant/legacy, however, as long as we are creating it, we should have it point to the intended location instead of being a dead link!
