Good observation, I also think that there is a security reason behind it.

With the front end separated from the backend, it puts a barrier between customer data and the publicly accessible web.

I would have to assume that they keep separate databases for frontend and backend operations so that if the front end of the website was hacked it would not expose any customer data.

At least thats my understanding of what many companies do to prevent theft of customer information - makes it more difficult for hackers to gain access.
