A. The BG might be protecting him
B. Much better to try and kill the seer

Normally after a D1 the village has little actionable information. With a duking that becomes not true.

Well, I disagree on a few points technically. I think we only get actionable information out of it, really, if the duke dukes to the other lead vote getter. And again, I think you get all the positives you mention above by simply revealing as the duke. There's no chance the wolves counter reveal day one as duke, really. And so you've got the CoT of the duke, the chance that he's being guarded, and you don't have to kill a random person to get it.
