Why can't you change the optic on a Kraber?

So in Season 9 they opened up the ability to change the optics on gold or red weapons. It was buggy at first and I thought that was responsible, but it has persisted all the way into Season 10. Why i...

@RazingHellfyreCould you imagine how broken a Kraber with a 1x, 2x bruiser, 3x optic etc would be... I agree it would be nice to use the 4-10 thermal optic on a kraber because Im not the best with the kraber optic unless I hit some lucky headshots and the thermal aspect would help you see players easier or hit players hiding in smoke/gas

I’m going to be honest I feel like Season 10 would be in a better (playable) state with a 2x Bruiser Kraber as ground loot and in its place Seer should be put into the Care Package... Sadly I’m not Joking I am serious

Honestly, just do the same thing with snipers that they already do with every other gun out there: limit the choice of optics.
Seriously, think about it. Snipers are literally the only gun in the game capable of holding almost any optic out there - the digi-threat 1x is literally the only exception.
Why not equalize it? Either limit all snipers to a 3x and up - thus pulling them from short range use - or allow us to put whatever optic we want on any gun we want. Won't really change their effective range, after all.
Besides, that still doesn't answer why the kraber is the only gun limited in this way. If it's about the damage potential, just change it. Keep the insane headshot damage but taper down damage on body shots and limbs. I've seen plenty of people complain about its damage anyway. (Not that I agree - have you ever seen a charged Sentinel?)
