I find your lack of faithlessness disturbing.
We’ve seen enough clearly dumb planning decisions that it is naive to assume that there must be a good reason for something.
That doesn’t mean there definitely isn’t a good reason, but if there is one somebody should be able to find it. The safety stuff that has been thrown around makes little to no sense.
I think the truth is probably a combination of lack of thought, default design guidelines, and possibly even some externally-imposed requirements.
