It's nuisance to load a package before you can set a variable which
should be used on the first use of the package's functionality. It's
easy to forget to load first, and then seeing "No match" or some such
is an annoyance.

Because the value should be set before the first invocation of
server-start. If you set it after starting the server, it's too late.
That's not something that happens with _all_ the other defcustoms.
