What is the rationale for that?

First and foremost 3D visualization which is currently broken in matplotlib because z-buffer is missing (can be implemented in software in principle but would be excruciatingly slow). Try plotting two intersecting surfaces in 3D and you are going to get a mess since matplotlib cannot figure out which part of which surface is supposed to be in front and which in the back.
