Alternately, the artificial sweetener might end up being too sweet, so they balance it out with some more bitter caffine.

I drink a lot of caffeine free diet coke now that I've developed a caffeine intolerance, and I think you're right. It doesn't have the bite without the caffeine and tastes kind of flat.

Why would they do that instead of putting in less sweetener?

This is like the Three Body Problem, but with recipe ingredients!

My guess would've been the appetite suppressant qualities of caffeine.
