They could be designed for more flexibility, at the expense of efficiency, which you'd have to "buy" back with improvements elsewhere. Instead they've chosen more efficiency with more operating restrictions. "99%" of the time you're fine, sometimes you have to move a few bodies when you have an adverse load for whatever reason (unusual cabin profile, misloaded cargo, whatever).

Only if there was room far enough back to do so.
