I also would like a clear explaination as to why.

I do know that the inboard section generates the most lift, and is therefore the area of lowest pressure, which sets up the spanwise flow towards the fuselage

Not confident in saying this, but may it have something to do with this altering the "relative airflow" more directly over the chord, reducing the Mcrit benifits swept wings are supposed to achieve...?
