I think it’s because each minifigure comes in a bag with the instructions, so
each minifigure set has to be linked to the instructions.
That they are the same doesn’t change the need for the link.
Otherwise it would seem the set doesn’t contain instructions and also, where
would the instructions be referenced?

I understand the reasoning. Currently, I have some of these packages / instructions:
for minifig do which do I put it on sale? For minifig 1? For minifig 2? For all
of them?
Since the item is exactly the same, it would make sense BrickLink allows to add
it as a reference (one per minifig of the same series) to one physical item (or
SKU).
Just as sets have inventory of items, the minifig from a series could have an
inventory that not only holds the reference to the minifig, but also to the leaflet
/ packaging. That would solve it?

Yes, a seller’s nightmare.

That would make these sets different from other sets that have separate “Original
Box” and “Instructions” items in the catalogue.
Now, I just saw there isn’t even a “This item is similar to” or whatever link
they could use. That would already be a step to solve this.
And it’s not like there aren’t situations where a buyer needs to put several
alternate items in their WL to be able to get one.

This was just suggested yesterday:

You may read my response to that suggestion if you'd like.
