Why each option
To redirect content requests to remote web cache servers using WCCP, the protocol must be enabled on the FortiGate interface that connects to the web cache.
Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) is used to transparently redirect traffic to web cache servers, and for this redirection to occur, WCCP must be explicitly enabled on the FortiGate interface that is directly connected to or can reach the web cache server.
Enabling explicit Web-proxy is for direct proxying, not for WCCP-based transparent redirection of traffic.
While WCCP has global settings, it must also be enabled on specific interfaces to correctly intercept and redirect traffic.
WCCP does not need to be enabled on all interfaces; it only needs to be enabled on the interface(s) responsible for interacting with the cache server.
