Don't know about th real motivation, but after having learned that from the explicit description in the docs I got very used to it. Changing it would have major implications for existing configs. One nice thing i saw yesterday is an explicit recipe in our docs to put additional control on .htaccess stuff you don't want to happen by enforcing your policy ("fixing" problematic .htaccess) with a <Location> that merges later.
