I guess that makes sense because in that case integrity is provided by
the TLS channel, so you just need to bind to it to insure no tampering
happened.

Although HTTPS could be seen as the same, I assume they didn't want to
have the client/server application need to distinguish between HTTP and
HTTPS (especially because HTTPS was not so common when the SPNEGO RFC
was drafted) so it was easier to just always protect the integrity of
the mech list... for what it was worth ...

Simo.
