The point still stands. The disincentive remains early game since which TP is in the game isn't known, so early reveals are still discouraged, since it's essentially a 50/50 gamble.
Furthermore, a BG isn't actually as useful as a doc in terms of consistent protection. A doc can heal indefinitely while a BG is only good for preventing one attack, so in this respect, the mayor essentially loses guaranteed infinite protection by revealing no matter what (infinite as long as the doc lives anyway)
In Coven, the doc also has further advantages over the BG, since it is the only way to remove poison, so a poisoned mayor claim cannot reveal or their fate will be sealed.
I'm absolutely not saying BG is less powerful than doc; I think the two are well-balanced since killing an attacker is a huge service to the town. However, for a mayor, the doc is definitely the more useful of the two and even just by having one of the two TPs blocked, the desired effect is achieved.
