Because it was convenient that way - before 1985 just as now.

Indeed.  But my point remains that I'm not sure whether switching from
`switch-to-buffer' or `switch-to-buffer-other-window' to `pop-to-buffer'
and not using the selected window in the former (or using the selected
window in the latter) case might cause indignations of users.  Also so
because the `switch-to...' functions are frequently used by Elisp code.
