I'll tell you why: because some people are the hall monitor/teacher's pet types who, when replying to getting an annoying device removed from the game, responded with know-it-all "this is how you avoid it: don't use items when paralyzed" type responses. They think that since it doesn't personally affect them then it shouldn't be changed.

It IS stupid, as is "zoning" when being tractored, and other things that are really more programming deficiencies than they are logical behaviors.
