Games that restrict you to ONE SAVE...why is this a thing?

Dragons Dogma is another good example

Dragon's Dogma wants you to prevent exiting the game in case you fucked up. If you fuck up, the game will automatically save and you won't be able to do nothing to fix it unless you:

a) beat the game, start over again.

b) completely erase your save file.

 

Capcom took some cues from Animal Crossing :P

Wouldn't it be one save per character instead of 1 save at all then ?
