At least for the alpha channel, as Gregg already wrote, a lot of GL algorithms use that data for something per-pixel that's not "alpha" (generally some other kind of per-pixel map). It's not appropriate for the browser to assume that it's safe to muck with the values there. Fixing this by instead trying to pass these values separate from the rest of the pixel data is inefficient as well as just weird from the perspective of anyone with significant experience in using these sorts of algorithms.
