Ah! This corroborates a point I made in another comment:

> Especially given the "not recommended to implement" part of it; something (CNSA2) tells me that this "not recommended" will be widely disregarded in favor of "but it's a standard" to the point that an explicitly-known-to-be-weaker implementation becomes one of the, if not the, most deployed implementation in practice. Which is also the NSA's MO.

The "setting where you REALLY want to use pure ML-KEM" is when you are are a US government contractor and therefore required by your contract to follow the NSA's recommendations (CNSA2). Given the discussion, it seems a bit dishonest not to mention that part, no?
