Why do bacteria have to attach their chromosomes to the membrane for effective separation, wheras eukaryotes do not?

In bacteria, if sister chromosomes are attached to the cell membrane and growth takes place in between the two attachment sites, DNA segregation could be achieved passively as a by-product of cell elongation.

This isn't required in eukaryotes because chromosomes are attached to spindle fibres.
