I can imagine a few reasons.

I have a dog, she needs some running around space in our yard, so we make sure she has it.

Otherwise we do have a raspberry... Thicket? In the corner of our yard, and some smaller raised beds along the edges. Every year the local squirrels steal the veggies we plant, but not the raspberries, no matter what we do.

This has been my experience as well, along with raccoons decimating all but one season's attempt at a water garden.

We get them all. Deer, birds, chipmunks. The entire garden needs to be protected by hardware cloth. The chipmunks got through the original chicken wire we had. We had to enclose the top as they climbed over. Plus the small birds eat any berries. A constant battle to be able to harvest anything.
