Because each size fits a range of two inches? If they had it in inch increments you could ask the same, why do they assume we are in whole inch increments.
But maybe an inch has a big effect on looseness. After all there's the mind-bending setup of a 25,000-mile rope around the world that just fits the circumference. The goal is to allow it to be one foot off the ground all the way around. How much rope do you add?
