They can be cached and reused to avoid unnecessary computation when navigating between pages. By restricting layouts from accessing the raw request, Next.js can prevent the execution of potentially slow or expensive user code within the layout, which could negatively impact performance. I don't like this limiting "I know best what's good for you" attitude in my tooling. Yes limits are desirable to avoid footguns but this seems like too dumbed down of a restriction for little gain.
