I know Space X does it because elon musk said that was how old cartoons did it, I cannot remember the exact wording but its because Elon wanted it.
I have no proof but my assumption is that this is "well they are doing it this way" and it just all lines up assuming that the predissessor has thought it through
Hopefully the Chinese scientists aren't just uncritically copying SpaceX. I doubt Chinese technology would be pulling ahead so rapidly in so many fields if they were!
