You make it sound like it's done out of spite, or because musicians like unnecessarily complicated things.
Reasons for this are given both in the article and in this thread.
So having read those, why do you still think it's silly?
- nightcracker 8y agoBecause I'm not convinced that the benefits outweigh the downsides. Again, any excessively too high/low (part of a) piece you can transpose in octaves to get it within a reasonable level. Then everyone can read eachother's sheet music without having to adjust.
