I’d say, because making the leap to “the mongol hordes built the wall” is pretty insane, when there’s many much simpler explanations? Because the idea of keeping “who actually made this incredibly long wall” a secret is nutty? Because if they were going to spend a ton of time and effort to try and pass it off as them making it, to the point there’s no records or even tales to the contrary, you would think they would have done something as obvious as moving the stairs to their side of the wall. There’s like no level at which this makes any sense. Good on you for being skeptical though
