Speaking for myself (and who else could I speak for?), who tops and bottoms is like a kink of mine. If I'm going to read a story that has explicit sex, then I'm going to look for ones that cater to my tastes and avoid ones that would have elements that I don't like. I can understand why an author would avoid the tag when who tops and bottoms would actually ruin a plot point, but if it doesn't ruin something (like who might end up an omega in a story), why wouldn't an author tag it? It doesn't ruin the story, takes only a moment and is a subject that does matter to some readers.
As for the specific example of aggressive behavior in a non-penetrative sexual encounter, I would probably tag the aggressive sexual partner as "toppy!".
