Having the width include the border because that is how a physical box works has to be one of the all time stupid design decisions of all time. What sort of management structure would lead to something like that? It suggests there was some guy/girl who were supreme dictators who made lots of these decisions.
While committees often make crazy decisions this is the other end of the spectrum.
Similarly, orders from the office team for extensions.
The stories behind these things would even better reading.

...no? If I want two side by side divs, I could give them width: 50%. But with regular box-sizing, if I apply a border to those boxes they'll stack vertically. That's pretty dumb.
