Keeping the body size down is one aspect but probably secondary to the 
reliability engineer's direction to use soldered connections whenever possible 
and practical.  Cables and internal plug-in sockets don't cut the mustard from 
a reliability standpoint.  It will be cheaper to replace the fewer complete 
assemblies that fail than the greater number of sub-assembly/component failures 
that would occur.  No need to look for nefarious intent.
