Earlier, someone wrote:

The above might well be true for some routers or other systems.
However, it is definitely NOT true for some other implementations.

For at least one architecture in the deployed world, it is easier
to find things and deal with things inside a Hop-by-Hop Option.

So this seems like an implementation-specific optimisation to me,
rather than a fundamental architectural or systemic issue.
