Another thing is that I don’t get why some CAs have the web *client*
authentication EKU thrown in there.

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.

Yep. I also want that. Not needed everywhere but it's good to have.

Yes, it's not needed everywhere, but for the sake of simplicity it's easier to just include it by default.
