Default why does drip edge go over membrane?

That's what instructions for the WeatherShield membrane say to do.


It's a holdover from the building felt days. The edge on top on the
sloped sections held the end of the building paper down - prevented it
from curling back up - and prevented the wind from ripping it off.
With self-adhesive membrane that is no longer an issue, so the
location, top or bottom, of the edge doesn't matter on the slope. On
the low edge drip edge should always be under the membrane.
