They're forcing players to commit their real world time investment, that has already consisted of days, into a decision that will take DAYS. Why would players be arbitrarily denied flexibility in such a decision? How sadistically do they want this process to mimic reality?
To prevent to the following scenario:

Player A bids on an empty plot.
Players A get 20 of his friends to to also bid on the plot.
Player B sees 20 people already signed up and moves on to find something less contested.
Player A's friends retract their bids right before the timer ends.
Player A wins the lottery unopposed.
