I guess a possible reason might be that
- `std::empty({vals...})` is useless but also harmless (at least to me) - this unconditionally returns `true` when well-formed, which is not helpful but not misleading either, or
- the consequence of simple removal wasn't well estimated, as P3016R6 incorrectly claimed that `bool b = std::empty({1,2,3});` wouldn't compile after the removal.
