The main reason is flexibility.One day your boss stands next to you and asks: "can you move this border three pixels to the left", and the only correct answer is "but that requires a complete rewrite".
One can also ask why that is needed and how it will make product better. Is that the highest priority to move a border three pixels to the left?
Well, people caught in the Apple universe seem to be capable of going pretty berserk about a few pixels left or right.I don't think anyone was ever able to talk reason into them.
