The reason is simply that "emacsclient" has existed for a long time and
the previous behavior was not compatible with the one of "emacs".

Only by breaking compatibility with scripts that were written for
older "emacsclient"s.
Note that if you really switch to a setup based on emacs-daemon, then
you'll only ever use "emacsclient" on the command line, so the
compatibility with the "emacs" command line wouldn't be that important.
