I apologize for not previously noticing it.

A footnote still duplicates data unnecessarily and creates a need to update the CPM any time the IETF chooses to adjust the private ASN range(s). We should avoid duplicating IETF information in policy to avoid the risk of it falling out of sync.

It certainly falls into “Unique Routing Policy”, but I would say that it also meets the definition of “technical need”, since the affected organization cannot technically route their addresses via said provider without a public ASN.
