Well, again, it's not for me to say why the rules are what they are for PSAI, but here's my thoughts:
1. The instructors I dived with have completed the course themselves and are veterans of deep air diving
2. Better to have everyone breathing the same mix at the same time and all be on the same deco schedule, especially if there is a problem and gas sharing is required
3. I know my instructor prefers to dive deep air than trimix - despite being a qualified advanced trimix instructor - but the reasons behind that are for him to say not me. What I will say is he has many thousands of dives and hundreds if not more technical dives and never got bent or dead, so whatever his methodology/reasons, obviously it has worked for him so far
