the TL;DR
  1. RP should continue even if the round ends
  2. To allow staff to finalize any investigations they have, and having attack logs popping up can be quite distracting

One other simple reason that most people don't realize is that if EORG is allowed, admins can never organize post round events/RP related stuff because there would be chaos everywhere. I have witnessed this myself once, and sad to say, the EORGers never got their chance to be involved in the post-round event.

allowing it kinda allows for the possibility of in-round grief to grow, "I can do it at the end of the round, therefore I should be able do it in round too".

As others have remarked, EORG Is something that can Interfere with our inquiries. Also, a minimum of RP Is necessary, despite being currently at the end of a round. Proper organization Is at least required before making an event and EORG occasionally mess It up.

End of the round gives people a chance to finish up some RP, give your fellow surviving marines a pat on the back or something. Becomes a bit distracting if the guy 10 meters behind you just start unloading AP bullets into someones head.

Personally i dont like spending 3 hours trying to survive just to get buckshotted, i also think this system slightly weeds out shitlers that think killing players for no reason is fun

Main reason, usually?

You placed the best of you in the game you played, a lot of effort to win the round and make your character survive.
Then - even if the text says you won the round - your character dies on screen because someone else executed it...
...Most people would be very upset at this, hence it being described as "grief, in the end of a round".

Also it makes no sense in the role-play context at all. Why USCM Marines would kill their team mates after they managed to clean the colony of a xenomorph infestation?

(Actually? It would be far more effective to just lock all guns, injections, grenades, turrets, harm intention interactions and even supermatter fromblowing up after the round ends, with a simple condition check routine in the code - and still have in it an admin log routine to report who tried to round grief non-stop, but...)
