I read the reason once, but think I have forgotten. This may be it:
Most users, especially non-professional ones, are going for slides in 
their original cardboard mounts. These mounts typically expose only about
as much of the whole frame as the non-professional cameras let you see.
The pro needs to see the full frame, the non-pro doesn't (supposedly).
