The Center position is to watch off ball primarily. The Trail has the ball on their side and needs to stay with the ball. If the Center starts watching the ball in the middle of the court, you will have two officials potentially watching the ball unnecessarily. Splitting the court in half would not necessarily make it "easier" when the Center would be wondering when the ball is in their area. And when the ball crosses the FT line extended on the Center's side, it is usually when the Lead should have a rotation or a potential rotation.
