Why do some people have to become a Special Project Assistant in order to become a Supervisor but others don't?

Some users do not have the required age, or experience, and therefore, cannot become a Supervisor until they do.
For those that are too young, a Special Project Assistant badge may be assigned to them until they are of age. Being an SPA is not a prerequisite to being a Supervisor; however, it does show to those that review Supervisor nominees how trusted that member is in the community and how much they contribute.
