Why a break box for 10-ball?

I was reading the Seminole Tour Rules:

and was curious about the break box rule. Can anyone explain the rationale behind this? I thought this rule is used in 9-ball to help prevent easy pocketing of the wing ball, but since there's no wing ball in 10-ball, I guess I'm confused.

Just trying to educate myself here. Thanks in advance for any comments.

By the way, kudos to the Seminole Tour. 10-Ball with the 10 spotting up on the break is the best, IMO.
