asymmetry of 'adduid' and 'deluid'

Recently added a uid and deleted a uid to one of my keys.

Found that to add a uid, gnupg asks for the passphrase, but to 
delete a uid, it does not.

(Doesn't really matter much, since the secret key is required for 
both,
but was curious if there is any underlying reason why gnupg does it 
this way.)
