Ernst,

What sizes of paper do you find aesthetic?

The only psychological reason I can think off is that they got a 
headache in trying to find another method of cutting sheets in 
half and keeping the same aspect ratio through the range :-)   I 
don't think it has a good aesthetic ratio but there's no other 
choice.
