there will be something in the aircraft design which means it needs to do it to fulfil some design requirement.

Possibly the Vmca 1.1 requirement. If they didn't do it the Vr possibly would go through the roof and it would need 747 lengths of runway to operate and much meatier gear. Either that or a 747 sized rudder.
