I'm guessing it's because over time the oysters will fill up those nooks and crannies between the rocks that are absorbing the energy. Eventually this may turn the complicated maze of directions the water can flow into something that performs more like the stepped gradient.

Granted, we live on just such a computer, but we're incapable of reading it's output.
