A couple of guesses:
- to teach you patience and forbearance as you try to
reassemble the guitar, keeping the compressed spring
in place and straight enough to put a screw down
through it to the cone, in the short space between the
spider and cone.
- the BIC company bought a whole bunch of these
springs, then decided to not make retractable pens,
and sold them to an Asian who could not understand
French and would not admit his mistake in buying them.
He owns this guitar company, and...
- the company knows that the spiders are lousy, and
has pre-loaded the system so that, when you back the
screw out in taking the guitar apart, that spider is
ejected straight away from the cone. There is a
warning inside the cover plate to keep your face and
other valuables out of its path. Unfortunately, most
people don't look at the underside of the cover plate.
Maybe you can think of some other reasons...
