It's a question I always asked myself and the only answer I ever found is
that screen readers are badly implemented hacks. They work on recognizing
specific parts of the screen and only recognize it if the expected
parameters are there. It does not seem to be a restriction any more but I
am not sure they still do make users change it when things go wrong. For
example I have a user they keep doing it to that is low vision and uses
jaws and magic and he keeps losing access to the message list in outlook
when they change him to the 1024 he can read the messages but he likes a
hire resolution and changes it back and on and on smile
