Wow, what a terrible waste!
Why does u-boot-spl need to relocate?
Because it is typically initially loaded into a special hardware buffer. That buffer needs to be freed up to be used to load the payload.
Can't u-boot-spl load AND relocate u-boot, or does u-boot-spl have tight space constraints?
It has tight space constraints -- often 4 KiB, sometimes even less IIRC.
