It makes sense from a purely mechanical point of view - crafting thralls aren’t npcs in the same way that fighters are. The crafter npc you knock out and the one you pull off the wheel aren’t the same entity. Crafter thralls are just an icon for the bench with an attached art asset.
Hopefully this will change once they do actually make the crafters use the ghost placement system for all the workbenches since you’ll be placing them in the world as proper entities like fighters are now.
