I was wondering about this recently. I don't think there is a dire reason for it. Handle inheritance? No Better error reporting if file/pipe fails? Maybe (abort startup if error-prone piped logger config is bad?). This would need to be tested with a bad config to check for exit+restart loop. > Cutting these out is easy and gives decent breathing room if hitting this limit (not hitting non-paged pool limit for all the pipe buffers).
