Sending hostnames isn’t required for DHCPv4 either. If we want to talk about ill-behaved clients, I don’t see why you can count this as a negative for mDNS but not stateful DHCP.

In practice, hostnames are sent by most clients, because it requires pretty much zero effort from the device. mDNS requires a complicated service that needs to be always on.
