i guess the reason is: simplicity on the implementation side. pd has no idea about which part of the object has been deleted, it just destroys the old object (e.g. [t b b b]) and instantiates a new object (e.g. [t b b]); btw. sometimes it is pretty hard (even for humans and cats) to know which part has been deleted by just looking at the "before and after"
even for dolphins and mice and betelgeuseans and paranoid androids.
i guess we all agree that it would be a fine feature. i guess nobody wants to implement it, though...
[t] needs to be a GUI object with right-click "Insert Outlet..." and "Delete Outlet..." or something.
