I think the reason is the simplicity of C-x -- that users should not
have to remember one meaning for C-x a and one for C-x A, one for C-x
b and one for C-x B, and so on.
That's not a super-important reason. It would not be a terrible loss
to eliminate that rule. And if there were only one capital letter
with a special meaning after C-x, that would not be a great cost.
But I don't think it would remain just one for very long.
