I don't think the reasons are obscure - they're quite plainly obvious. 
Personally, I prefer the /dev addresses because they're more 
human-readable, and it's what I'm used to. It's not like it's difficult 
to change back, though.
It's probably easier for the people who want to be able to read fstab to 
change it back to /dev than for the people who don't want to to change 
it to UUIDs.

By whom? Certainly not mount - my fstab uses /dev addresses.
