One function for the bleeder that you are overlooking is that it also is part of the coolant overflow vent, the one that pukes coolant onto the ground under the car when there is an issue. Yes, it is overly complicated, but that is just some of the “charm” or owning a Porsche. As for the “where’s and why for’s” of the chosen design, just remember that these are the same guys that created the AOS system as a substitute for the $3 PCV valve most OEM’s use…………
