Yes, there is a reason. ( it should be obvious....)
They were treated as offshoots of CS tanks right from the beginning so have ammo loads designed to deal with infantry that would be directly behind the minefields and wire rather than carry regular tank AT loads. They usually have have HEAT rounds as well as HE because HEAT can be used against soft and hard targets
I'm less rigid about that "rule" now than others were in the past but that does not mean I plan to go out of my way to change existing ones either. We've had zero "complaints" I can recall and now one (1) comment so I guess it's accepted by most.
