Why do you need to know?
Because people want to know when a pc has broken their disguise, so they know if someone starts acting odd around them - they actually -have- broken the disguise, and arn't just metagaming, with an npc happening to break the disguise at the same time.

I sort of understand this, and I feel it myself at times. On the other hand, this could also be abused by the disguised person. And one can argue that really it shouldn't matter if a pc or npc brok the disguise, for a good rper.

It's one of those arguments I can see the point of, very much so. But on the other I think adding it in would bring it's own batch of problems.
But can we just separate NPC and PC disguise? Coz everytime i walk through city gates i see shit tons of spam messages from NPC. And if we already started saying about metagaming with disguise... We already have metagaming state, coz we have (disguise) near name, which is just a red mark on PC back. Everyone start dancing around you and wait untill somebody will pierce your disguise.

Have you totally missed the part where it was stated that this is a passive check?
