I don't know the reason for this.
The motive is to squeeze a bit more life out of IPv4, when they should be putting the effort into moving to IPv6. IPv4 hasn't been adequate since it became necessary to use NAT to overcome the address shortage. This was a hack that caused it's own problems and now we have hacks on hacks, to try to keep IPv4 going long after it's best before date.
