Redundant is good thing when officiating.

Well, it would seem that the rules committee sees this as a situation where redundancy isn't necessary, otherwise, I'm sure they would have put in the rule book that an official's whistle, not the buzzer, ends a quarter in ALL cases, not just in the four exceptions.
