I think the reason is that you typically want to split the op into the statistics gathering and elementwise operations to fuse the parts it with the surrounding ops and having an op prevents that. That said, I don't think anyone keeps you from changing that, it's just that the other case (splitting the op) is so much more common that noone thought of it.
