two controls?

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but a search doesn't pull up a definitive answer... and I have NO wish to convert this to an A vs B thread.

What is the STATED logic from Airbus (they must have a reason) for input on one sidestick not to be felt on the other? As a previous poster points out this is low tech enough to be available (in a way) on every decent video game joystick?

Surely situational awareness would be greatly assisted by such a physical link between the controls? What is the manufacturers reasoning behind NOT linking "feel" between the sidesticks?
