Because.. if a long email thread is added to a feed, scrolling to find the Associations menu at the bottom of the thread is entirely impractical and sometimes effectively impossible.
Why on earth would this essential and frequently-used feature not be at the top of the activity pane.
Yes, and since hubspot released the controls over associations BUT FAILED to provide control over every aspect of logging (no control over sequence emails for example) it would very helpful when reversing associations to not have to open the activity and then scroll to the bottom of the thread to change the associations. I hate hubspot.
