I see. But wouldn't it be more accurate to say ATC only cares that
the aircraft isn't ready and the specific reason in this case is
common enough that it has a colloquialism or slang term attached to
it?

That's not a bad way to put it. ATC cares about the delay, and an
airliner not getting the information it needs in time to taxi directly
to the runway and take off is one common cause for that delay.


ATC doesn't need to ask if you have that. you would. They're not your
mommy.
