It's purely to torment you, Dennis. ;-)

But it could be worse:

I always hated it when I was reaching for the turn signal, and honked the
horn, or activated the windshield washer. IIRC, in the early days of
airbags, they didn't have a way to put both the horn switch and the air
bag as part of the wheel. Now, you buy cars that have mobile phone
controls on the steering wheel.
