Because, when running 2wd on slippy dirt, it seems better to have less torque and less "natural" braking.
That's what Kurt Wenger says on rc10b4.com :
My Brushless setups:

Buggy-
Sphere Comp 2007
X11 7.5 turn
20/84
2-1-3-3

Truck-
Sphere Comp 2007 w/ heatsink
X11 6.5 turn
optional sintered rotor
18/87
2-1-0-1

4wd-
Sphere Comp 2007 w/ heatsink
X11 6.5 turn
optional sintered rotor
20/81
2-2-1-1

I normally run -10% throttle EXPO on all the cars. For even smoother bottom end I will go up to -15%.

Of course, on astro or on grass, the sintered should be better.
