is there any reason why game restarts when you disable or enable mod?

i know that lua self supports restart without need restart the application, soo i just wondering why made this decision at here

The game creates a list of items, technologies, loads graphics, changes settings depending on other loaded mods (mods can depend on other mods). All this happens on the start of the game, so it has to restart for the changes to have an effect.
