       How is this different from the normal argument that is_in is
    obsolete because the object is contained within an admin boundary
    and the applicable is_in can be derived during a geo-query?

If a polygon exists, the is_in information can be inferred easily through a small preprocessing.
it's not small preprocessing if you're trying to do some bulk operation.

computing geometric intersections/containment is no big deal for small
data sets, but scales damn poorly.
