This is old german tradition.

During ww2 essentially, Germans tried to make everything too precise. It’s nice if your tank can shoot a dime at 2000 meters, but all it has to do is shoot another tank. And a tank that is just accurate enough to hit another tank is going to have a simpler, more robust gun system than a sniper rifle masquerading as a tank.
