There's a long history to this, you may wish to use "git -L" and look
at the discussions/bug reports related to 'recenter'.
The short answer is that this arrangement (which is new in Emacs 27)
has its main goal to allow "C-l" to redraw the entire frame when the
user so desires (by default, only on TTY frames), while avoiding the
frame redraw in most, if not all, other situations, because redrawing
a frame causes flickering. This flickering is caused by Lisp programs
calling 'recenter', directly or indirectly.

That'd cause window-scroll-functions to be called in too many
unrelated situations, because almost every redisplay cycle changes the
value of window-start. E.g., consider goto-char or goto-line or even
C-s that finds the match off-screen.

You've omitted the first line of the doc string:
List of functions to call before redisplaying a window with scrolling.

I hope not.
