This was specifically targetted at some embedded x86 systems where there
was a goal to reuse device tree bindings for things that just can't be
expressed well in ACPI.  _DSD is generally considered tasteless for more
server style systems, AIUI the general approach preferred by ACPI
forward OSs is to use some combination of DMI quirking and registering
with a per-device ID (like the per generation fake PCI IDs that Intel
uses for all IPs on their SoCs).  Just blindly accepting _DSD can end up
with something that's not used because it's not what the ecosystem
wants.
