   We have been discussing this. This would be a useful thing to ask your older relatives to see if anyone knows the answer rather than trying to think of ways to rationalise it, 'cos we've done that already :-) As Bruce says, there must _be_ a reason, even if it's lost to history now.

     @sil
     Response from my olds (both in their 70s). Kinda matches up with what you and others have already said.
