I agree that immutability has benefits, but I don't see why tuples should be singled out for special treatment in this regard.
Oh, and another reason is that scalars can usually be passed by value with impunity, but you might want to pass tuples by reference as it could save you some copying in a significant way. And pass by reference would make the tuple vulnerable to mutation... (since we don't have head-const).
