Again, I speak from urban legend:
My understanding is that the Quasi-Peak detector was based on the "VU
meter", common to audio recording, The idea was to approximate the the
_perceived _loudness to the human ear. For those haven't seen one, the
VU meter is also a fast attack, slow release device and still
used/emulated in recording studios.

One of the issues that pushed the FCC forward was significant
interference with police and fire communications during emergency
events in Los Vegas. The interterence was due to the the new computer
driven gaming machines. That in the late 1970s.
I was told Quasi Peak is used, due to video noise. Consumers would not
mind a couple of white dots on their TVs, but a whole screen of white
dots would be an issue.
