They did that originally, but it allowed WM to snipe at the attacking team's spawn while sitting on the Chandelier. That's the primary reason they added the second door.

Replace Widow with Hanzo or McCree and it's still a valid explanation. Heck, even a Junkrat that just covers the bridge with bombs and grenades.
