It would be good to be able to say "place no component thicker than X"
in this area.  Consider case clearances. "Why didn't you tell me you
drive a #6 bolt through the case to hold the board in place? It is not
on any of the prints!" :-(

In the battery case here, traces on the top layer would not be
allowed.  Sliding the battery in and out could wear away the solder
mask (which is not intended to by this type of isolator), exposing
battery terminal to bare copper.
Your point is still valid tho.
