I think I got it now. Thank you for the detailed explanation.

I did it like this because the RTC is a different IP mapped at it's own
address and considering the other VBATTB functionalities (tamper, SRAM)
might be implemented at some point.

I also failed to notice that RTC might not work w/o bclk being enabled
(thanks for pointing it).

I saw that diagram more like describing the always-on power domain
(PD_VBATTB) where the VBATTB logic and RTC resides. That power domain is
backed by battery. From HW manual [1]: "PD_VBATT domain is the area where
the RTC/backup register is located, works on battery power when the power
of PD_VCC and PD_ISOVCC domain are turned off."
