I would guess the answer is quite simple: MONEY!
Based on what I remember from the (also excellent) book by Gary Cunningham, the price for a single M9 bayonet dropped from approximately $ 50 (1986 dollars) to less than $ 20 (hope to be correct, as I always don't remember if it was 19.99 or 9.99 ).
You HAVE to cut somewhere to reduce the price in such a way.
