Here are several ways of understanding this.

) must follow the actual note where the slur finishes.

} is not a note, so }) is meaningless.

{ g16 b a } is a sequence. You can't attach the end of a slur to all
three notes in the sequence: you have to choose which note to finish at.

"look 'better'" suggests you like the look of nested brackets. But
the function of () in LP is nothing like parentheses. Try to think of
) and ( in the way you would think of postfix operators.
