There is nothing that prevents local_recipient_maps from being used
elsewhere. The need to do so just hasn't come up. This is why the
doc mmentions that local_recipient_maps is used by the SMTP daemon.
As for local_recipient_maps not being checked elsewhere in Postfix:
- When an alias map, virtual_alias map, or .forward file, specifies
a non-existent recipient, then some delivery agent will generate
a non-delivery notification (NDR). That is more useful than
rejecting non-existent recipients in the program that expands the
alias.
- When /usr/sbin/sendmail command-line submission specifies a
non-existent recipient, then some delivery agent will generate
an NDR. That is more useful than rejecting non-existent recipients
in the program that that receives the command-line submission.

You had not mentioned LMTP.
mailbox_transport and _maps were originally used to deliver mail
for UNIX and [1] non-UNIX accounts to a [2] Dovecot command-line
tool. Both [1] and [2] were poor solutions.
