It is the same reason why the author of Wireguard rejected cryptographic agility in its use of protocols and ciphers:
From the Wireguard paper [0]:
> 'Finally, WireGuard is cryptographically opinionated. It intentionally lacks cipher and protocol agility. If
holes are found in the underlying primitives, all endpoints will be required to update. As shown by the continuing
torrent of SSL/TLS vulnerabilities, cipher agility increases complexity monumentally.'
