Note that the current latin.mtx does make visiblespace kern like space.
I was simply pointing out one possible reason that the code in question
existed in the first place, I did not take a side on whether this reason
was good or not.

Excuse me, but isn't compwordmark meant to be used in words, to split up

anyone actually uses it this way, but I am pretty sure that is how it is
intended to be used.
