One could argue that the 13th rule of Le Roy (1568) calls for rest
strokes. And as it was used in Barley that it remained practice.
Or I may be mistaken, again :)

Some teachers teach the rest stroke in the bass for both renaissance
and baroque. I don't, because it unfortunately affects the wrist and
then the tone. I've heard some people do it it well, but there is
often a bump in the sound, and also the technique is prone to timing
issues. Perhaps that is fixable. You can make a case for a "grazing"
stroke, however.
I do teach and rely upon the single graze and double graze for
chords, and particularly for the earlier repertory. Basically, the
thumb hits one or two and the first finger hits two, three, or four
simultaneously. When struck properly, all strings vibrate in a
plane,
which I now can test with a high speed camcorder.
