The reason such was started is because PFC-CSM Joe Snuffy has no idea what level of protection he needs for a given threat. It is easier to deny guys buying armor from ebay, LE gear shops, etc - which in more cases than not doesnt meet the same standard as that which is issued - simple because its lighter than it is trying to evaluate each piece of armor every guy wants to buy.
