We don't say that for every hook, only for some, and mostly for hooks
that are called only from a single function.

Of course not.  But in this case doing that makes sense.

Because it tells one indirectly what changes are considered to "update
the buffer list".

I don't think this question is relevant.  We need to consider each
case separately.
