Why did they decide this? As it turns out, agencies are generally filled with subject matter experts. The reason for this is so that legislators, who are not subject matter experts, can write legislation that say "subject matter experts at $agency should regulate $thing."

That way, legislators could address an matter of public policy in a way that they could be confident would create the best result because experts are involved. They wouldn't need to create super-explicit laws because the experts could be trusted to know what to do without micro-management.
