Good question.

The reason has to do with layering. Assuming a single-layer document, on
your page all non-master-page items sit in front of all master page items.
But when you override a master page item, it moves to the front of all page
items. So far so good.

But when you start dealing with multi-layer documents, overriding will bring
it to the front of the active layer,and that can make tracking its position
more complicated. So I prefer to move it where want it myself.
