: How?

  Because it would disallow making automatic generation of long lists of
items (number, vectors...) in such a simple and versatile way as currently.
  Currently it's just enough to create the list of items in a loop, without
having to take into account that there should be one comma less than the
number of items.
  (Note that the problem with the solution you suggested is that there might
be cases where the loop is not executed even once, that is, no items are
created at all.)
