I'd guess that it's just because mail is designed around a notion of a
federated name-space and you either are responsible for a domain or
you're not and the Exim options encourage people to think along the
right lines to not start causing problems for mail to other domains
because of errors in rules matching against an entire recipient. The
easy way encourages safe behaviour (and I wish more software did this).

condition = ${if !match_address{$local_part@$domain}{+exempt_addresses}}

This form should also deal correctly with affixed addresses by letting
you just list the base address. match_address was added in 4.33.
