Probably because it makes sense. How else to you specify a command to
execute automatically when you log in that changes your environment?

Examples: emacs, X windows, suntools, screen-based applications, etc.

I usually test for the value of prompt, user, and/or term in my .cshrc file.
This way I can distinguish between a script, rcp/rsh, rlogin or login.
This has always been sufficient for me.

What are you doing that requires the opposite?

(You can always do a 'source .my-login' in your .login file).
