I don't know. Maybe when pressure tanks fail bad things happen thus warranting a higher standard. Not much realized with extra cost of listing fire pumps? Fire pumps fail and maybe still get sprinklers to operate somewhat if not fully successful especially if only one head operates in the lower level.
