Because that's what the input command expects: your HERE-string *when it
reads its standard input* (fd 0)

You could implement it with pipes, but as you would need a thread to
write the partially-read string, just using a file is simpler. And as
you can write it into a deleted file, the effect on storage should be
minimal.

You should however be able to translate “foo <<<SOMETHING” into “echo
SOMETHING | foo”


What surprises me is that the only use of here-docs (actually
here-strings) in your script are process substitutions:
> read out <<<$(declare -p "$var" )
> while ... done <<<"$(get_net_IFnames_hwaddrs)"

When it looks simpler to write the non-here version:
> declare -p "$var" | read out
> get_net_IFnames_hwaddrs | while ...
