BindsTo=
           Configures requirement dependencies, very similar in style to
Requires=, however in addition to this behavior, it also declares that
this unit is stopped when any of the units listed suddenly disappears.

"Stopping" a oneshot unit makes no sense, that's why I find BindsTo
confusing. If systemd-fsck@.service does the same, then we should do the
same thing here.

I've never heard of such a configuration.

They really shouldn't. And they may be required for resuming (you can
resume from swap on lvm on an encrypted container, which is a rather
common setup).

I am not the one to accept patches here, but I'd love to see this
implemented.
