Maybe they also want to avoid the possibility of "managing" the fluid level in the hopes of landing with all hydraulics.

If the quantity is almost zero when you land you could have a HYD C failure on short final.
This in turn means you either need to go around or land without having applied the checklists for landing with HYD C inoperative.

Basically Boeing probably prefer a failed hydraulic system over an unreliable one.
