Because the ALC meter is related to other things besides just power level like
audio level input.
ALC is a protection circuit ALC overshoot is a common problem (and not good for
electrical components)
And if you can get 90W without ALC why push it?
I just did this on my old IC-706MKIIG and can
nothi.g more nothing less, it just indicates that any deflection in the ALC
zone is ok.
And that is contrary to the beliefs some specialists here state.
I believe the manufacturer and the manuals more.

How is this any more complicated than set rig TX power to 100%, connect a
dummy load, then reduce audio drive level so power meter reads less than
100% in the middle of the passband?

Please adjust them with seeing the ALC meter.
As you already know, if the ALC meter indicates within the ALC zone, there
is no problem.
