Screw developers, we'll just do it that way."

One possible reason is I did start seeing some people messing with links to force coloring -- perhaps to get around the color filtering most people use. For example, a guild invite would pick a link to a random item and change the color and text. Sure, you wouldn't get anything by clicking it, but it makes it visually stand out.
