As far as I know it's EU regulation that the rear needs reflectors. My theory is they used to put them in the tail lights but with clear design tail lights they had to put 'em somewhere else
. I know here in Belgium, cars have been temporarily prohibited from driving public roads after shaving those reflectors at our yearly obligatory car inspection.
It could be a simple design feature too of course
