I'd compare it to preserving traditional but now-irrational spelling. Everyone on this list would spell the word "night" correctly, even though "nite" makes more sense. In a sung text, even though nite would take less width and be easier to fit in, we'd spell it as night because that's simply the right (or rite) spelling.
