Why is the Favored Class Bonus Locked in at 1st Level?

I'm curious about this. I understand why you need to lock in the favored class itself at 1st level, but why can't you change the benefit from level to level (e.g., pick extra hp the first few levels, then switch to extra skill point thereafter)? Is this just to make it easier to verify if a character was properly built?


HP/SP are not locked.

Failure to read, FTW. Thanks for the correction. Looks like I failed to read the last few words, bolded below:

The choice of favored class cannot be changed once the character is created, and the choice of gaining a hit point or a skill rank each time a character gains a level (including his first level) cannot be changed once made for a particular level.
