Why don't they score the ACT 1-12?

I asked the question in another thread and then realized I should not threadjack, and ask it in the appropriate location.

I read a lot of commentary here about the ACT scores, and how 34 is the same as 35 or 36 and one score won’t help you more than another… and I have believed it because the argument makes sense and was put forth by posters whom I respect and are quite experienced.

But then I got to thinking…

… if that is true, that 34, 35 and 36 are the same thing, then why don’t they just score the ACT 1-12?

Or make 34 the top score?
