It might be to be able to compare post payout to one another in the future. Even if the price of Steem change I think it would be easier to compare payout. I don't really have an answer. But I don't think we should jump to any conclusion before asking.

Well, like I said, there are 3 conscious choices there that exaggerate the payout. Those are facts from which conclusions can be drawn.
