why does every car's steering wheel seem to turn one and a half rotations in either direction from neutral

it's always one and a half, never anything else

this is a serious question by the way, in case anyone actually knows the answer please let me know

@Felthry I can guess

maybe it's the sweet spot for how far you have to rotate vs how much force you need to rotate it, steering hasn't been motorized for long and after that they just stuck with it
