Well, look, the thing is, that's the way it is right now. Will you change it?

Not to mention that chained DEmuxers (as opposed to muxers) adds the
complexity of RTP packeting (data is delimited in packets), which
isn't so much an issue in muxing. That might be difficult to solve in
demuxing, where (at least in FFmpeg) the demuxer, not the input layer,
provides data size during reading. This problem does not exist in
muxing.
