I think the main point is to make sure that the test script reached an
intended exit point, rather than dying early someplace. It's not apparent
to me why reaching a done_testing() call is a less reliable indicator of
that than executing some specific number of tests --- and I agree with
ilmari that maintaining the test count is a serious PITA.
