One word: strength.
T-rated shafts all for more extreme use and abuse. Torquing and stein pulling put a lot of stress on the tools. Even if you're not on mixed routes, pulling/twisting/torquing to get the tool unstuck from the ice is high stress.
p.s. can you even buy technical tools with B-rated shafts?
