I knew I saw it somewhere. (https://www.eng-tips.com/threads/unused-portion-of-profile-tolerance-zone.465737/#post-8549677)
Yes, indeed, the printed version is different from the DRM PDF version
There is no chiseled in stone rule how exactly feature has to be fixtured to produce datum axis. Shaft being installed on bearings inside of a motor, pump, etc. is no better and no worse than shaft installed on v-blocks.
It looks like using GD&T on assemblies is a next big thing, and Fig. 12-16...
I guess the answer to the OP's question is: "Why not?"
There are hundreds of situations when it makes sense to measure runout of assembled part. And it it is done in thousands of shops tens of thousands of times.
And it's called "Runout". 2018 simply legalizes the fact.
Or take a look from...
It looks like the technique has its roots in 50-s / 60-s simplified/functional drafting aiming at reducing manual paper-and-pencil design time.
The idea become less relevant with proliferation of CAD systems, but some standards still carry recommendations clearly aiming at manual drafter...

This Standard is in agreement with the following International Standards:

Back in good old times using ISO standard tolerances and fits would automatically imply Envelope requirement.
New edition of ISO 286 removed that, but you still can specify Envelope requirement individually if you want your size to also control things like form and orientation.

Since no datum is referenced, the frame will only control relations of features to each other.
It still looks like flatness may be not the best choice.

It's hard to imagine something going thru 8000 revisions and still backwards-compatible. (Otherwise new part number is in order) Just ¢2
