Yup - never made any sense to me. Back when it first happened I think I wrote them and got a "that's just the way it is" response. Typical of all these programs, they do stuff that at the least annoys people and gains them nothing financially. RPUs cost them nothing - they capacity control them to the extent today that they clear only when they would have been giving out CPU anyway.
