My take on this is that the loader is actually at offset 0x0 of the MTD
device and we explicitly state that in the mtdparts to anchor the first
partition within the MTD device and all the other partitions are at
offset +(sum of the sizes of all partitions listed before the current
one) relative to that first partition.
Removing the @0 feels fragile at best and it seems to depend on the
current behavior of the code.
