So though there is a simple and easy optimization, many implementations will have AES-GCM available, but won't have an independent GHASH on tap.  And getting the mask requires effort.  And client's can't predict how many bytes of mask they need, so they would have to get quite a few.  I'm speculating here, but I tend to think that this puts a thumb on the scale in the right way.
