I think it is useful to have the clipping functionality directly on the layers.
This allows you to easily create vector tiles that can be rendered using mapbox-gl.
Otherwise it is not quite obvious that you need to do the clipping and you keep wondering why there are some rendering artifacts at times. At least thats what I experienced. ^^
