IMO, the main reason that current EVSEs (the old inductive chargers too) were designed that way was to make them resemble gasoline pumps. Similarly, the annoying and totally unnecessary brake-off creep was built into many (most?) EVs for the same reason - so they act like "normal" ICEVs with automatic transmissions. People are afraid of change, so they hobble anything new to make it resemble the old.
