If you do want to do this, I would take a look at 1114's notes from this year on how to do a good kiwi drive.

Another reason could be ease of building. At least to me, it seems a lot easier to build (and less errors possible) with only having to work with 90 degree angles instead of 60 degree angles. Also, you take advantage of a rectangular frame instead of a triangular frame to build off of, which is nice in games where you have to fit into a certain space instead of having a set perimeter size restriction.
