Because there just isn’t any tenable way to draw a line in the sand between sapient creatures and say “the sanctity of these ones lives matters, and those ones don’t” that won’t have these unpleasant implications. But WotC can’t accept that. Violence is central to their game, but they want to maintain a family-friendly image, so they can’t really allow the game to acknowledge the moral and ethical nuance involved in meting out that violence. So they have to come up with some excuse, any excuse, to say it’s fine to kill the monsters.</blockquote>
