These assertions may prove to become useful to make sure that no process other than the startup process calls the routines where these checks are added, as we expect that these do not interfere with a WAL receiver switched to a "stopping" state by a startup process. The assumption that only the startup process can use this code has existed for many years, without a check enforcing it.
