I've got a couple of theories....
1) That's three joystick ports taken, unless you start hacking up wires and getting some crazy soldering going. And joysticks cost money to get more and more each year (as I imagine it's hard to impossible to do such a thing and easily keep the joysticks in COTS form).
2) Going fancy with programming has the added benefits of being able to know where you are on the field, which in recent years (since that kiwi drive was built) has become quite handy for autonomous mode.
