Because that makes things easier if a child happens to be born during travel. In border regions many people cros into other countries for stuff as basic as grocery shopping; now imagine a pregnant woman has a surprise birth there and her kid is now German instead of Swiss because of a one hour long “international trip.” Nobody needs that kind of beurocracy.
