Meatsaw,
That's the riddle of the ages. My answer - marketing. Glock sold this concept to consumers and police in the '80s, and it is now accepted that the intentions of the designer are a better indicator of safety than reason or numbers.
Some folks are coming back around to thinking that a 10 pound trigger may be safer than a 5 pound for carry, but I doubt that's ever going to really catch on.
