The language of the azhara to keep the minhag talks about zimnin degazru
hamalkhus gezeirah.

Rashi ad loc says that the said gezeira would be against studying Torah,
the community would lose the sod ha'ibbur and mess up their version of
the calculation.

But that's not the cause for keeping the minhag going. Because that
rationale has nothing to do with where the messengers could arrive on
time back when we needed them.
