That's a question probably best asked of the development team.
The recommended solution is INSTEAD OF triggers.

Yes, I know about INSTEAD OF triggers. I've used them, and it's just
annoying that to emulate a BEFORE trigger, you have to rewrite the
insert/update statements in the trigger. And, if you change the columns of
the table, you have to rewrite the trigger.
I did not ask "how to;" I asked "why not?" I was hoping for a [MFST]
response.
