Why?.....
Because then you could use these speakers as a ‘normal’ speaker.
The retail mode was originally aimed at the devices on display in the non-B&O shops.
They could easily be connected to a music player of some kind and the costumer could swap between the different models and choose different tunes in order to compare/audition the Beoplay devices.
No dealer involved and the devices could be secured in the display.
