I don't know, but I suppose allowing the maximum of 'yes' votes could be seen as good for the social glue. The ArbCom elections were on another 'strange' system, maximizing the chance for cattiness and worse; and therefore allowing people on enWP to blow off steam. I can quite see why that is not be applied here.
