As it turns out, there might be an explanation why the designers chose this, but Wikipedia has nothing. Looking around, I heard there apparently is an interview with the designers in EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) done in September 2001 (#146)

Problem is, I can't seem to find any scans, as the link I did isn't "allowed" to post them.
If anyone so happens to own old EGM magazines, it'd be helpful to see if they were actually interviewed about it.
