My personal reason was that many of these building interiors are actually several yards under the map where the building is when viewed from the exterior. You'd see teleport lag and visual dirtiness on occasion if it simply snapped upward.
The AE building is an exception and it annoys me that we have to have a transition when the interior and exterior are perfectly aligned in space.

I Talos Island there is a store that has a side door you can exit from but not enter. I prefer to leave thorugh this door because there isn't the fade effect you get using other doors.
Click poof done.
I would really appreciate this being done to more doors.
