Security feature. Lots of bikes had a bracket on the forks and another on the down tube. When you turned the forks full left, the brackets would line up and you drop the padlock through them. Makes it a bit harder to steal the bike; can't just push it away.
On my Sportster I keep mine in my fork bag.

They're hard to push when a front brake disc is carrying a lock too.
I snap one on that can't be cut with the average bolt cutter. I think a battery operated angle grinder would do it though.

I doubt many, if any, locks would last against an angle grinder.

Maybe you can find one at a dealer that has old parts laying around.
Or search around on the Internet for "frame padlock holder"
