Because you need exactly 2 panes to do most file management operations (copy, 
move etc.) and a single one for the remaining ones, so having a dozen windows 
with folders you happened to pass while looking for those 2 folders is only 
annoying and forces you to play Duck Hunt with the X buttons, the extra windows 
serve no useful purpose.
