Rain doesn't prevent someone from using a work bench let alone being outside. <_<

No, this is just another one of those strange design restrictions that make little sense to all but the dev who designed it that way.

...it doesn't? I'm not saying it's impossible but people usually put up some kind of cover if they're working on a project. Rain definitely impedes the ability to work. This isn't some arbitrary design restriction, it makes about as much sense as anything else in the game.
