To me I've always accepted it as part "we might be in space right now, but we'll practice like we're in the soup so we remember how to do that if needed" and "it looks cool ergo there must be some psudo tech reason why we will"
kind of like some of the quirks associated with Handwavium in the fenspace setting next board down.
