I can't think of a reason in principle. In practice, I guess it's just
because DrScheme hasn't needed counting on output ports.

It bothers me that counting is built into input ports, actually,
because counting seems like an orthogonal feature. For now, convenience
has overridden my reservations on the input side.

For the output side, I'd recommend creating a custom port wrapper that
adds counting to a given output port.
