It is very well possible that it was coded poorly ;-)

The main reason, I believe, was that some old-timers who know the 
implications said that it would encourage a wrong workflow.  One thing 
that could go possibly wrong, for example, is to rebase commits that you 
already published.

So AFAICT it was deemed not only giving people rope, but making that rope 
look like a necklace to them.
