There is one rational reason for this, but not such important: Board 3D
presentation. Someone could use different models for resistors, 
capacitors and inductors.

BTW. I have two sets of chip element footprints. One for resistors and 
inductors with rectangular outline, and capacitors with rounded outline. 
It helps me during first time board assembly process, and when I'm 
programming an very old pick and place machine (used for prototypes).

Apart from the above, I have no objection.
I'm using my own set of footprints. :)
