I think what it boils down to, as other have said is this:
The game needs 87 and 100 octane version to allow for pre-BoB scenarios and mission makers discretion.
However, if the devs are only going to implement a single variant of the aircraft with only one performance and boost model the decision has to be made as to whether it is 87 or 100 octane. This is not the optimum solution but failing to have both variants we need to have the one that was used for the most of BoB. In this case the evidence suggests that it is 100 octane that made up most of the fighter fuel.
Therefore if possible, everyone would want both variants modelled. If it is only possible to have one, then there has to be 100 octane represented.
