Why no Allies/hostages on Atlas Park map?

This is just speculation, but maybe the pedestrians conflict with the hostage/ally code somehow.
One of the things that's different about that map is that it has civilians wandering around.
Trying to remember if I ever saw a mission map that had both crazy civilians running around and an ally/hostage, and I can't think of any (though that might just be bad memory).

The map doesn't have a Front/middle/back designation, and you n need to pick one of those for placement

Any Mayhem where you find the key for the prison breakout side-mission.
The AI in those is incredibly "wonky" though.

I was alittle surprised by the inability to put non combat objectives on the Atlas Park map. Especially since I've done official missions that take place on the map that have allies.
This kinda puts a stop to a mission idea I had. Anyone know why it's like this?

My guess is that any missions in game that currently use those maps don't use allies/hostages, so the spawns aren't placed yet. I'm hoping they go through the unique maps and place some additional spawn points just for MA. There are a few maps like this, that don't have certain spawn point types for no apparent reason.

What about the two Ouroborus missions?
In the first you rescue the guy in the kilt who becomes an ally for destroying the Shivan meteor.
In the second you rescue numerous "fashion victims"... then again, that's probably a different Atlas Park map. Cool map though. I love seeing the limos and red carpets.

Like the police station maps with the pointless second floors....
