most end consumers of the data cannot tell the difference between a Link and a Zone. As such, from their perspective it is very odd to find that some IDs are allowed pre-1970 data and others are not
If we're talking about the perspective of most end consumers, most of them don't know or care about pre-1970 data. So they won't find anything odd at all.
had someone provided detailed pre-1970 data for America/Aruba a year ago, I think you would have accepted it
No, we've excluded similar pre-1970 data in the past, e.g., Europe/Zagreb.
