It'll be for compatability with existing software.  Most BASIC programs
will work fine - even those that use READ/WRITE AT, since the disks look
the same at a sector level.  Machine code apps using the standard hook
codes would probably be ok (which rules out most games and lower-level
disk utilities).

Perhaps just that you have to write your own DOS from scratch, and lose
a certain amount of compatability with existing apps?
