Resource constraint, whether development schedule or REGION to accommodate the executable code is a plausible explanation.
All of the OPEN code was in a type 4 SVC, with a 1K constraint on each transient. While OPEN had a lot of overlays, it didn't exhaust all valid names, and if necessary, an extra one for the member name check could have been added. The REGION doesn't come into it.
But that was then; this is the 21st Century. A reasonable compromise which allows the user to do something "this strange" would be to allow the operation if the user overrides to DSORG=PS, in either JCL or SVC 99 arguments but forbid it for DSORG=PO. (It's probably a bad idea to permit this override for PDSE.)
Agreed.
