Why choose Control as base class? #1

Why choose Control as base class? Why not node or sprite2d? Sorry for disturbing, I want to know the inside logic, But I don't know where to communicate.

I had a prototype of this using Node2D but the mouse interaction events were much easier to use with Controls. For example, if you are using Area2D and multiple areas overlap, they all trigger mouse hover events. Instead of doing workarounds, I just switch to using control. You can see what I mean here: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/19e8n0x/how_to_manage_mouse_movement_on_overlapping/
