I look at it a bit differently. To me, *if* PPAP is required it must be stated on the Purchase Order or an associated document (such as the print, a Statement of Requirements (SOR), or a Supplier Quality Requirements Manual). If a customer has 'traditionally' asked for PPAP you would look in the same place where they required it before. If the requirement is not there (somewhere) then don't take the initiative and send one. It's like the old saying in auditing - Do Not Volunteer Information.
To send a customer something the specific contract (or the print, a Statement of Requirements (SOR), or a Supplier Quality Requirements Manual) does not state/require is putting yourself into a potential problem area. I can see no reason to provide something that is not specifically required.

Unlike our usual customers (Customer 1), customer 2 doesn't even have a Supplier Quality Manual.
I guess, I would just wait until their customer would require PPAP from them.
