Since we cannot know which foreign architectures will be installed, too.
The nvidia driver is available for amd64, i386 and armhf. Having foreign
i386 on a amd64 host is quite common, so there is no point in managing
the diversions separately. And the diversions have been very fragile
before unifying them into one glx-diversions package.
I doubt you will run ARM code using a GPU on a x86 arch plus you do not
create dangling symlink so you know what is installed. Installing nvidia
binary later should eventually rerun glx-alternative but this is a
différent story
Also for glx-alternative-nvidia it is important to be sure all three
architectures are in sync w.r.t. the diversions, since we want one
alternative to manage all architectures.
I do not contest the goal, I contest the print on screen that makes
people think it install danling links (which fortunately it does not)
and also create uneeded files.
