It will stop a lot of strong pieces from promoting to Gold General.
That will completely spoil the game, right? If every piece would gain strength on promotion it would almost never be good to make 1-for-1 trades, as it would leave the opponent with a promoted piece. With every strong piece a suitable protector it would be trivial to keep all pieces sufficiently protected, and any attempt to attack would be suicidal.
