There is a reason for it.

Movei is a generator of legal moves.
It is using the number of legal moves both for evaluation about mobility and
extension rules.

Movei generates attack information for every square on the board.
This information can be used for evaluation but today it is not used for it.

It also almost does not use that information in it's extension rules.
