They don't, because that is not the question they want answered. You
are forcing them to ask questions they don't give a shit about yet, and
the answers are often worse than the question.
Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a device
link conversion, if and only if all CMYK objects matching the data
model / color model of the first space in the linked sequence are also
in the _same_ CMYK space.
Not in a "what would it look like if I spend $1000 to put it on press
to see what the numbers will look like?" world. You are thinking
exclusively of a PDF/X-3 kind of world Henrik, and not disclosing that
fact. What you propose doesn't work except in that world.
