The main reason I can think of is that this is historical. =A0CLOSED:= was
invented long before anyone thought about the need for drawers.

Drawers are an added feature that is not needed to be able to make
org-mode useful. =A0I don't think there should be a requirement for hav= ing
a drawer when you mark a task done just to record the CLOSED date.
Having an option to enable this behaviour would be fine with me.

I stumbled recently over this old message which may have rel= evancy
for this

The idea of including timestamps in property drawers is a fairly recent
development in org-mode.
