Why is the fuel pump housing spring loaded?

Any ideas why the white plastic fuel pump housing is spring loaded?? Is it just because the fuel tank is shallow?? Thanks.

I think it keeps the fuel pump securely in place. There is a lot of pressure being generated by that pump, and it keeps the pump from popping out, and maintains a tight seal against the bottom of the assembly.
