[Avodah] Eating before Biur Chometz

On Erev Pesach morning, why is it that we are allowed to eat before Biur
Chametz? What makes this mitzva different from so many other mitzvos, where
we cannot eat until doing rhe required act?

Granted that some are patur from burning their chometz, as they simply
don't have any, but everyone has to say Kol Chamira, right?

I ask this question particularly in light of this being such a busy day
that some people really push the zmanim to the limits. I understand that
Chazal did not want to interfere with people having a good chometzdik
breakfast, so they could easily have made this issur begin at a late point.
For example, once the fourth hour is over, "You cannot eat any more
Chometz. And from this point, you can't eat anything else either, until
you've disposed of whatever chometz you have left."

Just wondering. Chag Kasher v'Sameach!
