Default Question about suspension play

One thing I've wondered now is why does Honda list torque specs for various mounting parts in the suspension, like the rear control arms, but say to torque them down so tight?

Aren't the rear and front control arms supposed to fall freely on their own if you raise them where they mount to the inner chassis area? Instead they wanted it torqued down so much I'm barely able to raise/lower the arm myself, wouldn't that be bad for handling AND the bushings?

just wondering
