Of course we can only guess, but maybe HP thought that programmability is more useful than a large set of hardwired functions (similar to the RISC architecture in computers which was, by chance?, also introduced in 1974). In the same year as Ti lauched its first hyperbolic calculator HP introduced the HP-65 and several software packs, one of which (Math Pac 1) does add hyperbolic functions to the calculator.
