They do it for all sorts of trickery.
I've just realised the beauty that is a 5 year childrens passport. If you apply for it before the childs first birthday then you will need to renew it 3 times as a 5 year passport as the final renewal will be at 15 and a bit, not 16 so they screw you out of money again 5 years later.
And then you double up the passport costs for a dual national. I'm spending about 300 quid on passport renewals this year! Thats a frikking airfare in itself.
Citizenship application, then a fee for the citizenship ceremony!

Think of the poor people who were 1 day away from getting ILR only to be told "sorry chaps, Gordon Brown wants another £400 from you"

Well she could go ILR in 12 months if she was your wife not your girlfriend. Just a thought.
