Can you explain this further? What is it about these assertions that

Because it potentially decreases the number of times the user has to
authenticate at the IdP, which has advantages in terms of both
usability and security.

Reusable assertions are not being "pushed" in this profile. Rather
reusable assertions are a by-product of this profile. If not, can you
explain why not?
