The reason for that is that changing layer height affects flow rate, thus line width, extrusion speed/volume, and so on. To limit the amount of change from all the other parameters, we use the profile as the middle of the variation instead of one of the edges. This gives far better print results.
Your statement makes the false assumption that the user is limited to a single extruder. Cura supports dual extruders, idex, etc. If you have two extruders or materials alternating layer by layer, especially an idex, having the ability to control the layer height dynamically is an invaluable tool.
Though having options best suited for functionality your machines still lack may not be the best marketing.
