Why can't we loot everything on a boss?

A lot of high-powered items cannot be looted apparently. For instance, Sarevok's boots - which is arguably the best boots in the game - cannot be looted when you kill Sarevok. I don't get it - other than balance concerns?

They were destroyed in the fight.

Armours maybe but stuff like boots?

It's probably just mostly game balancing. I don't know about Sarevok's boots, but vendors can have everything stolen from them so I don't see the problem with all the gear finding it's way on it's corpse when you kill them.

There's a ton of magic items though so I don't really care, personally.

Tav decided not to. Despite their greed and anything, Sarevok had those boots for so long, that their smell could kill every normal sane person in a mile's radius, which would have turned Tav truly into the lord of (hilarious) murder.
