I suspect the reason was far simpler: 5 volts was available in the system, why not use it and take the small amount of heat out of the box. There would also be a reliability improvement, one less regulator per freq standard.
I bet the cost of the regulator is insignificant compared to the unit itself.

Maybe noise WAS important, so they removed the regulator altogether. That would fixed the noise problem 100% and save $3 in parts. The other reason to remove the regulator is just to save the $3.
