Sometimes a meal does not require all the utensils. I might put together a plate that only needs a fork, or fork and knife, or fork and spoon. I feel dumb if I grab all three and only use one or two.
Also, having to try and maintain control of the plate, silverware and napkin all in one hand while you try to load the plate up is a pain in the ass. Why not go thru with hands free then get silverware at the end, where you can simply perch it on top of the now full plate?
I agree and have a perfectly logical reason.
