You are assuming that all users will be coming into the first crossband equipment, but in reality, there may be users that come in on the crosslink receiver, therefore, no ID would ever happen on that user at the main transmitter. Also, if the crosslink were run in carrier squelch, and noise or other such would trigger the transmitter site, no ID would occur. If that transmitter comes up, for whatever reason, it MUST be id'd to be perfectly legal.
Besides, these days it cheaper to buy a real controller (like the small ICS basic) than it is to buy a DTMF controller that has no ID functionality.
