Maybe because the entire play is just as much in front of U3 as it is the PU and requires no additional effort on U3's behalf. And exactly how close does an umpire need to be to watch a touch of the base? The diamond isn't that big. If you think it is, try working a 3-umpire system on a 80' base diamond.
