I agree in the case of planned maneuvers for sure, however if you want the result of the "5 Whys" (kinda joking) then my answer is: because the contractors that build this stuff SUCK ASS. Sorry for the harsh language, but I worked on a pre-com ship during my time (an LCS, go figure) while it was being built, and the absolute lack of standards on every level (from the top of the SWO military chain through the dogshit contractors) is part of what made me leave the Navy.
I'm not gonna complain about it too much, but man oh man, I think you and I could build better software than what I saw, and I don't even know you from Adam.
