A taproot tree can have multiple leaf scripts, and since it is possible that the actual script to be used is not known at the time scripts and control blocks are added to the PSBT, it would not be sufficient to only have two fields with no keydata. It would not be possible to specify multiple leaf scripts.

Furthermore, it is possible to have the same leaf script appear multiple times in the tree. So it is not sufficient to use the leaf hash as the keydata as a script that appears multiple times would only have one control block possible, where in reality it would have more than one.

Thus the only way to allow multiple different leaf scripts, and the same leaf script to appear multiple times, is to use the control block as keydata.
