Try this:

The control arm of a blade maintains the desired pitch angle.

Movement of the centre of pressure on a symmetrical blade has a small pitching moment and therefore small stresses on the control arm.

A large movement of the centre of pressure, as with an un-summetrical blade, will create excessive stress on the control arm.

There are other reasons but this is a starter for 10.
