I think they figure that as so many road bikes that will have them have internal routing and need the lengths to be pretty precise with hose going under bartape and whatever that'll most will need trimming and bleeding. Whereas loads of various MTBs have discs and it's a pretty common upgrade and if it's vaguely close people will live with a bit too long hoses.
