I did not phrase correctly in fact, what I meant is: if the validator
sees empty or witness script in scriptSig, then this is a segwit input,
and doing this one by one the validator can associate the correct segwit
data to the correct segwit input, so 00 does not look to be needed

Just by looking at the outpoint, there is no way to tell whether it is segwit-enabled or not. So there needs to be a way to tell the validator that “the witness for this input is empty”, and it is the “00”.
