Why flatten a slide stop pin?

I was reading a article tonight and they were talking about the SA Profesional model. In it, they stated that the "right side of the slide stop pin if flat where it normally protrudes from the frame, with a countersink around the slide stop hole." Any particular reason for this that anyone can think of? is this just to make it slicker as far as protruding surfaces? Any drawbacks or advantages? just curious

Stay safe all!

If you were to rest your finger on the right side of the frame, it would sit on the end of the stuc. Shortening the stud to frame width and counter sinking around it still allows the slide stop to be removed but prevents it being accidently moved out of place. At least that is the theory.
