Yes, technically you can use token exchange to federate access but you have to manage AS policy for each combination of clients that need to exchange tokens. Also, the resource owner client cannot easily revoke tokens issued to third party clients that it federates access with. This draft tries to address those issues by giving resource owner client ability to delegate as much or as little access as they need to as well as the ability to revoke that delegation at any point in time. This also means that AS does not need to maintain policy that governs the federation (or delegation) of access between the clients.

Why wouldn't the third party just request a client_credentials grant for the RS using the appropriate audience?

Here is the link for your reference: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-janicijevic-oauth-b2b-authorization-00.html Abstract Delegated B2B Authorization enables a third-party OAuth client to obtain a limited access to an HTTP service on behalf of another OAuth client which is acting as a resource owner. This specification extends the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework with two new endpoints which allow a resource owner OAuth client to manage access for a third-party OAuth client. Motivation I work for a large financial services organization, and we are using OAuth 2.0 extensively to secure API based B2B integrations with various third parties by utilizing OAuth client_credentials grant type. Some of those third parties are our customers, while others are either our partners or partners of our customers. One of the challenges that we have encountered is that there is no standard way to delegate access to resources in B2B integrations, so that one party can obtain access to protected resources on behalf of another party. The above internet draft describes a possible extension to OAuth 2.0 that may be able to address this issue. I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.
