My understanding is that the reason is because that's how insurance works.

Kinda. Insurance is about a pooling of risks, that does not mean that every risk level must be in the same pool. Houses that are built in flood-prone areas are forced to be in different insurance pools with higher rates than other houses because the risk profiles are different.
You know what I meant. OP only mentioned undifferentiated "someones."
Undifferentiated? They are specifically labeled as "higher risk".
