The problem with flags is the huge variety of headers and their ordering and nesting. Flow steering is a good example of how things are very confusing with flag combinations trying to specify which place in the stack they are refering to. If the app is already providing the exact bytes it expects then it is very reasonable and natural for the application to specify directly the bytes it expects the HW to fill in. Totally clear and unambiguous.
