Why Does Rearm Have a Cooldown?

[Deepbluediver]

I just noticed this while spectating a match earlier, but Tinker's Rearm ability has an 8/7/6 second cooldown listed, even though using it refreshes the cooldown on itself. So it feels kinda like having a screen-door on a submarine.

What exactly is the point of this? I need some experienced pro-level Tinker player to drop that knowledge on me.

The positive aspect of that is that you can't waste mana by accidentaly pressing it twice while spaming, but you better not cancel your channeling or get stunned.
