Backwards compatibility with HP's old displays schemes is another good reason. It might possibly have been easier to provide individual control over all these settings and ditch the FIX, SCI, ENG commands.

I didn't much enjoy coding the display modes when I first wrote them. I'm wouldn't be surprised if some of the quirks were more accidents in the original HP implementation.
