That's a fair.  I don't mind doing two back-to-back compiles passes,
one with and one without context analysis enabled, but that's because
I have a fairly high end development machine.  I can see tht people
might avoid using context analysis if it slowed down their build times
too much, or if you had to explicitly enable it.  As a maintainer who
is used to periodically running lockdep and KASAN builds against
dozens of hours of VM time worth of regression testing, sharded across
many different VM's, an extra compile-only build is in the noise.  But
I'm probably an outlier.  :-)
