I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it was due to a deal deadline with the mobile phone company(s). They (Inno) may have figured it's better to roll it out (because it works well on the phone?) anyway, and deal with the browser users in a later patch.
You might have something there. If they are currently outsourcing their development on mobile, they can't constantly change the specs if it is not in the contract. (maybe budget issues)
