Speaking against indexterm in footnote on a practical level.
Given page xxx reference to such a term it seems 'odd' or
awkward to go searching for the reference and find it in the footnote?
Index terms are generally to body content, rather than to marginalia
such as footnotes?

Just a practical (visual) issue.
