I could imagine that nowadays TRSMAIN is merely an ALIAS entry point that

As in DISP=(MOD,DELETE)? That might be a disservice to a programmer
who pre-allocates the data set with special SPACE, UNIT, VOL, BLKSIZE, etc.
And to what benefit, anyway?
I like to do such as:
//HANDLE DISP=(MOD,CATLG),DSN=&DSN,UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(CYL,(10,100)
//OUTFILE DISP=OLD,DSN=*.HANDLE,VOL=REF=*.HANDLE
... to reuse an existing data set if one is catalogued.
