There's an old saying that "aviation regulations are written in blood". If there's an FAA rule it most likely came about from the learning of an accident investigation.

Lots and lots and lots of rules, especially post 1970 or so are about ass-covering. Post 1980 you get a lot of rules designed to remove human judgement from the equation.
