I think the issue is more so lent toward the fact that, even when forced to, there are many ppl with no common sense and that dont/cant think for themselves. The unfortunate reality is they have to protect even the morons.
Much the same reason that any normal person thinks its funny that a chainsaw comes with a warning not to operate while naked, but the chainsaw company has to protect themselves from the idiots that do try it, and then chop thier dick off, and then sue.
As has been said if they start setting areas for hard hat and areas for no hard hat it can get confusing for some, not able to keep track of when it can be off and when it has to be on. Its just easier to say right just wear it everywhere, better to be too safe than not safe enough.
