It was a design decision, from the get go.
MDF was designed the same way.

I was a beta-tester of MDF in the mid-1980's, and participated in many NDA 
meetings for that.

Also, attended many NDA's for PR/SM.
The company, where I worked at the time, was an early adopter of PRSM.

Both IBM and Amdahl were quick to point out the design decision, and stated 
that if you wanted to go the other way (more logical/image than physically 
install), use VM.
