It is interesting that the AIM does not restrict that requirement to any
particular class of airports. Where is it stated that the requirement is
needed only at "an airport in a surface area"?

b. Operating to an Airport Without Weather Reporting Service. ATC will
advise the pilot when weather is not available at the destination airport.
ATC may initiate a visual approach provided there is a reasonable assurance
that weather at the airport is a ceiling at or above 1,000 feet and
visibility 3 miles or greater (e.g. area weather reports, PIREPs, etc.).
