All are characterized by free-roaming predators and very low population density. Seems unsurprising.

Because a bear would be able to see a gun if it were not concealed? (I live in Montana and have never heard anyone talk about concealed carry in the context of animals).

Because its not always convenient to carry a firearm openly - under a coat, in a holster for instance.

The same could be said for Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico.

Given that Wyoming has the lowest population density (of the 48 contiguous states, anyway), I sorta understand that one.

But given that a big chunk of the Arizona population is retirees, I'm surprised they haven't changed the carry laws yet.

There's no rhyme or reason or consistency to many US states' laws. I find it a bit bothersome.
