Like many editorial decisions, I'm not sure this one can be properly explained in words.
If you did explain it, the explanation might well sound like a post hoc rationalization. Which is okay. Writing, especially about the dead, is more art than science.
I'm willing to give the editors the benefit of the doubt. They've seen more Facebook pages of the deceased than I have.
