you're pulling down a garage door on pullys.The knot keeps the loop from folding over on itself and easier to grab with one hand to open/close the garage door. Often, pit crew members have some object they're carrying in their other hand, so the knot is efficient in keeping a loop shape so the door can be open/closed with one hand.
It's just that simple.
A noose? No. No matter where you grab it it will tighten the loop...worst knot imaginable for pulling down a heavy door. A bowline is easier, faster to tie, and won't collapse under pressure as the noose is intended to do.
you're not dragging someone around on horseback while they're noosed up. stop making shit bad just go you can show your virtue signal off.
