For the "why?" you have to ask Microsoft's development team. But remember
that Project Central was a very early product that was bundled free with
P2000 and most people found it was worth just what it cost. Once it matured
into a truly usable product it evolved into Project Server 2002 and now 2003
and of course is no longer free. If you need the functionality that PC
supposedly gave you, you might want to not worry about key rules, etc, in PC
and go with the current products.

Because the business logic is in the application rather than the database.
Thus no rules are are in the database. I believe that it would make the
performance slower among other things.
