I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a reason.
But, I think you hit the nail on the head. It fits right in
with the obsolescence of the FCC 1st and 2nd Class
Radiotelephone tickets.

They may as well have done away with the FCC tickets. I passed the 1st
class test at 22 years of age in 1972 on the first try for the ticket. I
had never seen a TV transmitter, but had the ticket to work on them. Maybe
years ago it was differant and a harder test.
Thought I wanted to get into the 2 way repair business, but never did. When
I took the test it was only one dollar more for the first class, so took it
and passed.
Most of the tests are made so any idiot can pass them.
