I guess there is a computational difficulty issue involved. Otherwise
it's just an error somehow survived the reviews.

It becomes very hard to check that a given <all> is a proper subset of
another <all> if you allow arbitrary order of items. If <all> has x items,
then you have to check x^2 times in the worst case.
