This can be blamed on the notion that a strong spring is required to prevent frame damage
I always thought springs were made heavy to delay unlocking a tad, to help make the shot more accurate (i.e. less movement in your hand while the bullet is in the barrel). I have a (too) heavy spring in my CZ52 for this reason (and the old one was a limp noodle), and it is very easy to limp wrist with the 2X heavier spring. However, I no longer have a lazy slide bouncing around my return to aim every shot
