Just spitballing here, maybe it's because a big part of what Claude does is write a ton of CoT and then condense it into something human-readable. Claude needs to prioritize a thought pattern of "let me find the important parts of this long thing I wrote", which means it needs to figure out:
- which parts bite?
- which parts are the real issue?
- which parts hit the nail on the head?
- which parts are genuine features?
etc.
