From Dave Flowerday's post, he timed matches in-person at the Midwest Regional, confirming his observations from the Milwaukee webcast. From the perspective of fairness, if all the matches run the same duration, no advantage is gained or lost* by any teams.
Maybe FIRST will discover a mini-black hole in the FMS that dilates time and create other problems with the field? 
*Unless, of course, you don't trust your drivers and have automatic timing features in your code that effectively ends your match earlier than the rest of the field. (Sorry, Joe!)
