Even if figure were allowed to be used without legend, what would be
the point? That would be no better than just adding an extraneous
wrapper <div> around the object just to work around the content model
restrictions.
As a newcomer still working through the specification, it is not clear
to me that <figure> requires a <legend>.
The content model calls for "exactly one legend element". But then
several paragraphs later the text reads "The first legend element child
of the element, if any...."
You're confusing document conformance requirements and UA conformance
requirements. The content model applies to documents. The later text you
referred to applies to UAs. (UAs need to handle non-compliant content.)
The Conformance requirements section has the following note:
| Note: There is no implied relationship between document conformance
| requirements and implementation conformance requirements. User agents are
| not free to handle non-conformant documents as they please; the
| processing model described in this specification applies to
| implementations regardless of the conformity of the input documents.
