When level reduce to holding speed

This instruction has been common for quite a few years but before that we were simply given be level by saber/tiger etc and we could reduce speed at our discretion if holding. If I make the restriction at saber/tiger and there is holding why can't I reduce speed in the descent? Why do I have to wait until level? My guess is I am not trusted to make the level restriction and reduce speed or can't be trusted to maintain a sensible rate of descent. What is the real answer?
