Is this the rationale you are looking for?
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/3b97c01e9ccdfbd517a0fd631838d6252dbfa692

    Note: bios_linker cannot be used to allocate the PPI memory region,
    since the reserved memory should stay stable across reboots, and might
    be needed before the ACPI tables are installed.
