Why can you cast spells while stunned?

Every champion in the game, currently, can cast a spell while stunned.

If you are Garen, casting your E, then if you are stunned a second later, it still goes through. If you are Jax, casting E, and then you are stunned, it still goes through. If you are Trynd and you cast E, then stunned, it still goes through, rather than being stunned on the spot. If you are Illaoi, and you cast Q and E before stun, it still goes through once you are stunned Aatrox, cast his Q before stun, and it still goes through. Talon, Ekko, Leona, Braum - the champion list is endless.

Why is this a concept that exists in this game? If you are stunned while your spell is in animation, that spell SHOULD stop instantly after being stunned, and should not apply any damage at all, let alone, being able to CC and stun people (such as Jax's E still going off).

What are everyone's thoughts on this? I think it's pretty stupid where you can still cast spells if you cast them just before you are stunned, they still go through.

I asked the same question once and the answer I got was pretty much this: "this game was always like this, deal with it or leave".

If you ask me it is totally BS and against common sense but whatever.

Honestly whether it makes sense or not at this point it's become a balancing lever in the game. Whether or not a spell is interrupted by CC, whether or not a CC will stop a dash, are all things Riot can add or take away from individual abilities to balance them. For example, most stuns don't stop dashes, but hitting Veigar's Event Horizon does, which makes the ability stronger. Similarly, whether or not an ability is interruptible is a balancing lever: Tristana's Rocket Jump will not be interrupted by CC that occurs during its cast time, while Caitlyn's 90 caliber net has a short channel that allows inbound CC to interrupt it.

Its called server input, outside of a directly connected 0 ping environment (like the pros play on) this can often happen, when the server registers both the Jax E input and the stun, basically both commands were issued to the server and the stun going through does not prevent the stunned champ's skill command going thru.

As far as I know, their are only a couple of spells that can be used while you are stunned. summoner 11 can be used while stunned but not while suppressed, and trynd ult can be used while under any CC.

Even better, why are champs allowed to autoattack while they are suppressed? For example, champs can still AA while supressed by Malzahar's Ult.
