Skirting – Gluing internal corners?

Hi all,
This is more of a “Why don’t we do this?”, rather than a “Should I do this?”.
With skirting, we glue external corners.
Why is it that we don’t glue internal corners?

If you have mitred the joints (you did mitre them....), the skirting has space to expand and contract. Glue the joints, and the return might pull away from the wall.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Mitred and glued the external joints, but scribed the internal joints (which given I’m using square-edge skirting, so effectively a butt joint).
Sorry, what do you mean with “return”?0 -
