T-Band has always been somewhat of a complicated spectrum resource in which to conduct frequency coordination. The band was made available about fifty years ago, before propagation prediction and other spectrum management tools were widely available as they are today. Consequently, the FCC adopted license assignment rules based on what they knew back in the early 1970s.
