Why does chess.com not allow you yo play your two accounts against each other in unrated games?

Like if I want to play against myself if I can't do this there is no way to play against myself and save the game. Like sure you could go to analysis and then flip board every turn, but that is not that great because there is the analysis bar thing that shows how good each side is doing. Sure I could cover it but its a lot more effort than just playing against myself on two accounts, so why is it not allowed if you don't get points for it because it is unrated.

I don’t really understand why you would want to play against yourself, but you can turn off the evaluation bar in the analysis tab.

It's always facinating whenever someone admits to having an alt-account...

They are allowed, but you have to get approval for it and there is a limit to what you can do with your alt

I got it for getting an extra game review per day, they even still approved it when I said that it was my reason for getting the alt.
