Why would short arc welding not be allowed in pipe material thickness greater than ¾ inch?

This is for a B31.3 code application which specifies that short arc welding is allowed on for full thickness butt joints and fillet welds in pressure parts if the thickness of either material at the joint does not exceed ¾ inch.
