My reasoning is that the period is a "stronger" punctuation mark than the comma, and it should be used for the more important separation.

If you write a check for 1.00, it's easier to turn it into 1,000.00 than 1,00 is to 1.000,00
Edit: when you write the tip on a check at a restaurant, it is just one field for the numbers, no words.
A check? Hey grandparent, ever heard of the 21. Century?
You just wrinkled my brain.
That's one of the reasons why they make you write it in words I suppose. Ideally, we shouldn't base our writing system on an outdated payment method.
Numbers existed before checks. Was the formatting system changed when handwritten checks were invented?
The critique is valid for all written documents using the format, not just checks.
Checks are not the only numbered document throughout all of history where tampering of said document would be undesirable.
I suppose so.
Either way it can easily be turned into 1,001.00 or 1.001,00. That's why there's a written out form of the number.
