This assignment seems net new, but you might ask how anybody's devstack ever worked without it.

Best I can tell, everybody eventually followed one wiki doc or another and several of them mention the seed_enterprise_devstack_data management command, so at some point everybody just runs that command. There was no way to get a complete working devstack for enterprise without running both dev.provision.enterprise AND seed_enterprise_devstack_data, and neither in isolation was sufficient.

That's not necessarily a bad thing---we ask developers to run multiple commands in sequence all the time. But the problem was that both commands overlapped in purpose, including the creation of the enterprise_worker user. Worse, they both provisioned the same user differently, so the second one was the winner. This non-determinism is confusing, could lead to difficult to understand devstack bugs, and contributed to dead weight in our codebase.

My recent PR openedx/edx-enterprise#2662 helped draw a clear line between each script: dev.provision.enterprise is just the bare minimum to get the enterprise services to talk, and seed_enterprise_devstack_data was for actually provisioning enterprise customers and enterprise users. No more overlap.

As a result, that created a gap in this file, it was now missing a step to create the assignment for the enterprise service worker. One side-benefit of adding this missing step is that now launching a fresh devstack Codespace instance gets you a fully functioning devstack out of the box with fully communicating enterprise services.
