They have means, they just don't have a way of deriving a specific policy from 
a specific DNSKEY. The available means are documented in the DPS.

So I am missing the value of the policy to the parties that rely on these 
signatures.

Your suggestion is that if there's no way to the policy just from the contents 
of a DNSKEY RR, there's no point publishing a policy at all?
