The original reason for the design was to improve reliability by
allowing Octave to ensure that the allocated memory and dimension are
always consistent.

But if you think it should change, then propose changes to the Array
class that allow what you want to do.  I can't guarantee that any
proposed changes will be accepted, but a patch would at least provide
a place to start a discussion about such a feature.
