Because it's awesome to alter history and push your changes when working with other people! Yay!

This is why people don't like rebase, but if you just tell people "never start a rebase farther back than master" the problem magically goes away. Tada!

It's even simpler and more general than this: don't rewrite public history. There, you're done.

I'd add that it's only a problem as team size grows. If the only other people who might be affected are sitting nearby, I can say "has anyone pushed since <commit>" and happily push -f my rebase in most cases.
