They should care so that the IP-connected client works consistently with the
SNA-connected client.

And, in addition to allowing _easy_ additional sessions (because some shops
want that), for shops that don't want these easy multiple sessions, it has
also been suggested to IBM that they allow an administrator to inhibit the
number of sessions to an assigned value (in your case, 1).

In both cases, easily allowing many or easily limiting the number seems to
have slipped on the priority pole.
