I mean, Google are requiring it for all Oreo launch devices, which they all must be after the P release (you can't get certification for Nougat after P releases).

Still if the updates aren't enforced, all we will get are Oreo devices without updates, Treble or not.

Once you have Treble you can get third-party updates (e.g. LineageOS).

Regular phone users don't care, which is why we're in this situation at all.

They do care on iOS.
