DLT Compute: "Ephemeral" Job Compute vs. All-purpose compute 2.0 ... WHY?

Hi there, this is a follow-up from a discussion I started last month

Solved: Re: DLT Compute: "Ephemeral" Job Compute vs. All-p... - Databricks Community - 71661

Based on what was discussed, I understand that it's not possible to use "All Purpose Clusters" with DLT Pipelines. I would like to understand WHY this is the case? I'm not sure I follow why Databricks wouldn't allow this as a possible implementation since the "Ephemeral" Job Compute clusters effectively always cost more since they require spinning up new resources when we already have All Purpose Clusters up & running.

Is there something I'm missing here?
