I agree.  But the current code was written for a reason, I think, so
I'm curious to know what was that reason.

Yes; except that if they happen on the same instruction, they are
still two different events: the breakpoint breaks _before_ the
instruction, the watchpoint _after_ it.  At least on x86.  So we can
announce both even in this case.
