Is there any reasonable explanation for not being "allowed" to leave the US, after filing for adjustment of status? Without advance parole, that is. Especially when a different class of visa (say an O1, while applying for EB1A) would still allow reentry? That can be rather annoying both for professional and personal reasons.

No good reason, just the law. Note that this prohibition doesn't apply to dual intent visas such as the H1B and L1.

While often treated as such, the O1 is not officially a dual intent visa, right?
