In LTE, why the integrity and encryption protection order is different in NAS and AS layer?

In LTE, if a NAS packet is going to be sent, the encryption is followed by integrity protection in NAS layer, but in RRC/PDCP layer, When RRC messages are being sent, they are integrity protected first and then encrypted before being sent, unlike NAS messages were. Why the integrity and encryption protection order is different in NAS and AS layer?

5G: In which scenarios, Integrity protection would be enabled between UE and gNB for the user data ?

I was going through the security specification of 5G network and stopped at a point where it was mentioned that UE shall support integrity protection of user data along with the integrity protection of RRC and NAS-Signalling. Section 5.1.3.1 also mentions that integrity protection of the user data between UE and gNB is optional to use.

Enabling both integrity and ciphering for the user data would be an overhead, therefore I started thinking about scenarios/cases.
