It's for a similar reason I'm not keen on a fixed grille block, and would rather have louvers - I'm in Australia and summer temperatures will hit 45C (113F) most years, sometimes as much as 48C (118F), if only for a few brief spells each year. On the other hand, during winter, daytime temperatures will hover around 15-20C (about 60-70F) for a few months, and my commute is mostly highway driving, so it really doesn't need the full intake area all the time.
