Comment (by kevdotbadger):

 I think the point is that you're allowed `<link>`s in the body, so there
 might be a reason why a template author wants to load it in the `<body>`.
 It's another great WP inconsistency, you have the `in-footer` option when
 loading scripts, but that option is missing from this loader, dispute
 there being a method in the loader to do just that.

 Another solution would be to ignore anything that's queued after
 `wp_head()`, and actually use an `in-footer` option to place `<link>`s in
 the footer. But I think that'll break backwards compatibility.
