The point of this is to cheaply detect all stack overflows using a guard page. For a guard page to actually detect all stack overflows, we need to ensure that the code touches each page of the stack in the right order, otherwise it could skip the guard page and write outside the stack. That is very bad for languages such as Rust which provides memory safety, so it currently does an explicit
