It costs a bit more to manufacture with this little detail, and unfortunately it's becoming harder to find, even in high-quality defensive ammo. You'll notice the imprinted ring around the bullet itself, clearly indicating the correct setback. You can still find that more often than you can the second casing crimp, and it least it provides immediate visual information if the bullet has been pushed into the case.
