"Some reason" being so that moving from a menu to the adjacent menu with the notch in between is the same short mouse movement as between other adjacent menus, instead of having a longer move through the dead space of the notch.
I tried one in the Apple Store but didn't think to check any software with a >50% full menubar to see if that feels weird or not.
If they hadn't done this, someone would be complaining these menus are supposed to be 10 pixels apart, but I have to move my mouse 100 pixels instead. If it bugs you, hit cmd-I on the application and put it in the no-notch mode.
