I suspect it's a combination of spaghetti code and not wanting to assign any staff to it. Discouraging people from being careless makes sense, but that doesn't mean you can't set sensible limits instead of once in forever.
I might think too much into it, but maybe based in cultural differences as well.
Iirc I've heard that people in Japan (not everyone ofc) take good care of their belongings and are mindful when deciding on getting rid of something.
People in the west, not so much, from personal experience.
