Why most SQL databases allow defining the same index twice?

Question

Why most SQL databases allow defining the same index (or constraint) twice?

For example in MySQL I can do:

CREATE TABLE testkey(id VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,          


        

Answer 1

I can see that some databases prevent duplicate indexes. Oracle Database prevents duplicate indexes https://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/errors/ora01408.php while other databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL do not have duplicate index prevention.
