You're going to need more justification than that.
The built-in integer types are truly closed under the bitwise
operators `~`, `&`, `|`, and `^`, with no overflow, underflow, or
undefined combinations.
Bitwise are no math operations, these are CS operations
In the end it is a design decision. And that's how I chose.
Some designs are better than others.
