Why do 1RU Cisco switches ship without the power supply inserted?

Just like the title says. I've always wondered why 3750s, 3850s, 9200s, 9300s, etc. are shipped with the power supply in the top of the box instead of in the switch. Are they fragile? Are they worried the plastic tab might snap off? The fans ship inserted so what's the difference?

edit: is there any reason I shouldn't leave the PSU in the switch after I configure it when I ship it to it's destination?
