Possible reasons --

Codeing reason: Cause the game assigns a "level" to each treaty, and protect and sub are in the wrong position in the sequence. Notice partneship is military alliance plus something, military alliance is trade and research plus something ...

Balance reason: Cause the protect or sub can be broken at anytime. You could just park a fleet, and have it battle ready

Roleplay reason: umm I dunno
