Because it forces the manufacturer to shorten the throw, and loosen the feel, of the focus ring.
I think this may be the one statement that the majority of both camps can agree on. At least for those who know the difference.
I\'ve gotten used to the plasticy airy feeling of MFing an AF lens but every time I use a MF only lens It just feels better and dialing it in is more precise. Not to mention that I don\'t have to worry about bumping it out of focus or being worried about barrel-slide under the weight of the front glass + filters.
