No reason. I did the test for DA40 with MTF test chart, but I sincerely don't know does it really matter - as long as you can see the difference. But, I'm still wondering shouldn't it be visible in long range shots, too.

focusing is more critical at close distances or with long lenses basically in a situation where DOF is small if you are focusing on what is practically infinity it might not be that noticeable
