It is illogical for a pilot with a UK mindset. However, just about everywhere else in the world requires one to file an IFR flight plan to fly IFR, AND they (simplistically) require the PIC to hold a current IR to file an IFR flight plan.

So the concept behind FCL 1.175 is logical for anyone who is not UK based.
