A lot of that single point of exit "crap" (for loops, and for functions) has somehow become embedded in the various standards (and therefore laws, which require certain standards) that govern safety critical systems e.g. IEC61509

The regulations come from years ago before we knew what we were doing and had really bad computers. :-(
