Well traditionally it often was because a higher beat rate is/was considered an indicator of accuracy and quality. 5hz is smoother than 4hz is smoother than 3hz.
Don’t know if there’s anything in relative smoothness/stability of the tick being an indicator of good amplitude etc and so on. Don’t know if that’s actually visible.
