Agronomy question - rough around bunkers

A place to nerd out. Give us all your thoughts on golf courses, no matter how deep or opinionated.
I recently noticed on a local course that they're maintaining rough around the bunkers (both fairway and green side) at a higher height than their regular rough. I left my rough ruler at home, but my guess is rough is maintained at 2.5" throughout the course and 3.5" around the bunkers at width of 1 to 2 feet. I'm not sure I've noticed this at other clubs and I am struggling to figure out why they're doing this (course in question has no shortage of financial resources)
