Why wouldn’t a rental car agency allow after-hours dropbox for returning keys?

Take a rental agency – Avis, Enterprise, whatever. Some of their rental locations (usually including airports, but also other sites) allow after-hours drop-off, meaning that you can park the car, drop the key in a lockbox, and go on your way. But not all sites alow this. Assuming the parking location is accessible at all hours of the day (e.g.: with a provided parking pass or barcode to open the gate) what benefit is there to the agency not to allow returns at any hour?

Maybe tired of arguing with people who return cars without full fuel tanks and damage that they claim was not there when they returned it?
