Intuitively, the reason for forbidding Q and Z could be that those passwords can't be typed in blindly on QWERTZ and QZWERTY keyboards (which you're likely to find if you travel internationally). But then they'd have to be consequent and also forbid Y and maybe A.

I think it has more to do with Q and Z missing from old phones keyboards.
