I suspect the opposite, since it is not true that "if no zIIPs are available, the work must run in TCB mode". Bob must have been thinking of something else. Thus you are talking about the products having additional code paths to do things in two different ways, when one way will "work". If there is sufficient performance justification for having that additional code, then they likely do have it.
