Tightening them to the same torque spec is indeed rational. Did you
think the front should be tighter? Or the back? Maybe the right side?
Right turns are tighter in the US.

They are "required" by the vehicle manufacturer
because when the tire/wheel manufacturers QC their
products the parameters are measured as part of
this process. Thus the vehicle manufacturers have
several less steps to perform while mounting tires
to wheels in production.
