I have no idea why. It seems entirely unnecessary. The only thing it does is prevent a player from started away from the line and more easily ducking behind the the player closer to the basket. It probably cleans up the rebounding a bit and tilts the advantage just a little more towards the defensive team. Perhaps that latter point (the balance of advantage) is the only reason to change it.

Agree...never defined. You could say that the entire 3' depth is near the lane line.....it certainly is relative to the sideline.
