Growth is one, the average term will be smaller. The real reason to pick this is that the tree is a b-tree so you can pick terms above and bellow, so you can end up with simpler terms, not just more complex ones.

Not sure why this got down voted. It's easy to see that points can be selected between two others that are parents in some cases. With mid-points, it usually mixes a fractional part like taking a midpoint 1/2 and then moving the upper bound so the next card is 2 and then moving something between 0.5 and 2. This ends up being a messier fraction.
Adding logic to pick 1 instead of 1.25 seems easy but there are a lot of edge cases and ends up creating something that is at least as complex as this simple binary tree that generates all positive rational numbers.
