I know about this rule, but I never understood the purpose. Why can't they just have a proper expiration date?

The country you are going to doesn't want your passport to expire while you are there.
Controlling their borders and all that jazz.
It's them that are requiring 6 months validity remaining, not the US.

Imagine you went somewhere for two weeks with a passport that expires in 4 weeks. You get trapped there for additional weeks for some reason.
Now you are outside the country with a expired passport. It is just a safety measure because so many people would push the envelope
