It’s because the viewing format has a fairly consistent gamma curve relative to viewing environment ambient light level. In a theater its about 2.6 and this works with no ambient light, and in a living room its about 2.4 with dim lighting,

It depends what you want to apply your linear functions on. If you want to work directly in the source scene light (e.g. photography), then it would make sense to use the inverse OETF. If you are blending graded scenes of emissive light, i.

That’s not what happened. The phosphors chosen for CRTs were pretty much unchanged from the late 80s through the end of the CRT era. There were minor differences in formulation, but often that was at the expense of color accuracy for motion
