Can conditional formatting work without summarization?

It seems that the "Conditional Formatting" option is only available for a value if it is aggregated (summarized).   Am I undertstanding correctly?     Is there any reason for this limitation?   ...

You can get around this by having an Index (or use another Column has a value at each row) and inlcude that Index in the Visual

 

Then the Values will not be really aggregated (although they'll default to SUM)

 

But the option will be available for Conditional Formatting

Thanks, not sure why this is disallowed but that's a good workaround.
