1. What is the benefit from having the DC blocking capacitor across the centre split in the transformer's primary winding? What harm would there be if someone took that capacitor off the BOM and simply shorted those pins on the transformer to make the primary winding effectively non-split?
If you shorted where the cap is, The windings on that side would flow DC for no purposeful utility, i.e. power waste. The above is NOT a DC passing circuit. If power flows through it, it does so by oscillations.
