Why would the manufacturer's recommendations NOT be the best way to handle THEIR product? I don't think I necessarily need to know "why" it's stated in the manual to follow. They're the experts. They're who I follow.
Now if I was an automotive engineer who did some testing on what results proper break in (under 4k rpm) yields, maybe I could question what they say. With how you broke in your car (1/2 and 1/2), what evidence do you have that you helped or hindered the longevity/performance/power/etc of your engine? Without proper proof or proper testing, any results you have are circumstantial. If you do have proof and did tear down your engine or did other forms of testing, I stand corrected and will fully accept your claim.
But until then, I will follow what my manufacturer recommends.
