Maybe the assumption is that MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED will
only be set from the machine config and
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED will only be set from the distro
config. Don't they work even in that case?

Yes, of course. If you want to control machine or distro features
directly that that's the way it should be done. The BACKFILL
infrastructure is there for a very special case - to try to keep a
consistent behaviour for users who set fixed values for machine or
distro features and don't keep those definitions up to date with
changes in oe-core.
