Anyone know why landings for night currency have to be to a full stop?

Possibly because currency for carrying pax also requires full-stop
landings. Getting night currency satisfies both requirements.

Day currency to carry passengers don't require full stop landings.


The lighting conditions during the day may be superior to those at
night, thus facilitating visually acquiring the location of the far
end of the runway, so as to estimate whether there is sufficient
runway remaining to conduct the takeoff phase of the touch and go
maneuver.
