Its not only about realism, its about keeping the demand for metal.
Plows(and the everchanging newbie playerbase) are the only thing that provide a certain metal necessity all the time. Once youve finished all the chest, grinders, cauldrons, pickaxes and scythes the farmers need they will never need metal again, except for plows. But (thats not my opinion now) plows seem to be unaffordable because they break too fast and the metal is expensive, farmers use the wooden plow. A price drop by 90% would make metal plows affordable, but then the only thing id do whole day long is chopping trees(for coal), digging clay(to repair kilns), making bricks(to repair smelters) and mining, which also needs tea which i would have to buy. And please dont say i should use water, seriously you have no clue. If i used water i would only mine for the food i need to mine, so why bother.
