Another thing is that I don’t get why some CAs have the web *client*

Because a sufficiently large number of customers asked for it.  :-)

AIUI the use case is server-to-server comms, where server A acts as a TLS client and server B requires TLS client auth. Server A also acts as a TLS server and its operator doesn't want to have to manage 2 different certs.
