I think the answer to that is, basically, because it's there.
What I mean is, if only modify the files that won't break, and only in ways that won't break, you're limiting your creativity. Now, there's nothing wrong with doing simple changes, just moving around the data that's already there - that's what I've done with my personal UI. But some folks want to do more... and SOE included the files for them to change, giving them the ability to stretch the boundaries a little. Look at all the amazing UI's that have been created, that require changes to "breakable" files. It may not be "high" art, but it IS art, in my opinion, made all the more attractive by it's practical usefulness.
