Are there technical reasons? Not per se, though it is some extra work associated with each extra level of precision. The reason is that each precision needs some custom handling when generating the SPARQL. E.g. "15th century" is stored roughly as `1500-00-00` and needs to be transformed into `'> 1400-00-00'` and `'<=1500-00-00'`. This effort isn't huge, but is also not just a config change.
