Not an excuse, but an explanation: HyperCard started this convention 20 years ago. SuperCard took it up to be compatible and continued it. When MetaCard came along, it too adopted the same tab-key behavior. Revolution continues the long tradition. So, there have been four x-talk IDEs that use this convention spanning many years. And that's why.

In Revolution, it is mentioned in the Help menu -> Quick Reference Guides -> Shortcut Reference. I admit this isn't easy to find.
