What is the reasoning for this?
Because discussing it before then may create the impression that you are more concerned with administrative minutiae* than with what the job is, what the career opportunities are, and other big-picture items. Companies don't want people who microanalyze trivia.
If you do not get an offer, discussing it would have been a waste of your time.
If you do get an offer, the likelihood is that the offer will be either unacceptable for some other reason or so desirable that it won't matter. You can discuss it only in the unlikely situation that it is a deciding factor. Or, once you have an offer, you can bring it up in an offhand "I was curious about ..." fashion. In either case, what they think of your concern with this topic will no longer be an issue. Beyond that, things like this can be legitimate concerns in deciding to accept an offer even if they weren't important enough to bring up during the interview process.

What matters is that a hiring manager, or someone else with influence over the hiring decision, might put it into that category.
