The main problem with the tube scoring in this game, IMO, is that ultimately most good alliances were able to fill the top row and most/all of the second row; at that point, additional tubes did not change the score much. I suspect the GDC was thinking it would not be so easy, and thus the differences between alliances would come in filling the top two rows, making for different score differences... of course I'm completely guessing here.
