Those two combined means people will sometimes have to be dropped off at a floor they don’t want to go to. Are there elevators that do that? I’ve never seen one.
I guess that may be because it would require the elevator to inform the passengers “we’re at floor ten now. Everybody for floors ten and up, get out”, _and_ the passengers would have to hear that _and_ they would have to listen. It also may mean some floors sometimes get too busy with waiting passengers.

It's probably more important for the elevator to behave predictably. Assuming everyone waiting for the elevator knows where it is at
1. it should always stop if it's going in the direction you want to go.
2. All people inside the elevator must be dropped off before changing direction
