Because is a "theorical" delta that should give a certain stability about
future sustainability and performance wise. ACO 3:30 is a way to try to prevent manufacturers getting 2-3s faster a year (or even 5-6s as happened in 2014 to 2015). It's basically a way to prevent manufacturers spending crazy budget a year that usually leads to withdraw from the competition once expenses get unsustainable as recent history tells us.
