What's the reason killers can only hook from the front while survivors can unhook from any direction

What's the reasoning behind giving survivors the ability to unhook from any direction while only allowing killers to hook from the front?

  • As far as i remember, when they added the rotating hook, they reasoned that it'd look weird if the hook turned to that direction by itself.

    Doesn't it look weird when survivors do it then

  • Or have the entity turn it

  • The omnidirectional-unhook is specifically to prevent killer from bodyblocking the only possible unhook direction.
