Plus if the engine is running, people might put an Auto in Park and not Neutral.... Not good while it's getting pulled along with a Winch.
But I guess someone could do that while it's off too lol.
Maybe it's because on older Vechicles, running the motor while whinching might cause the Electrical System to overheat? Spark? I mean you choose your potential disaster.
In the end it's all about lawyers.
