Backwards compatibility. In the past, we didn't *have* projection objects: they're new in 2.6. displayProjection is new in 2.6, so we went with the 'new way' of doing things *only*: the Map will atually convert the string to a Projection object latre on if you pass a string (which is why we have getProjection(), and getProjectionObject() -- in 3.0, getProjection() will start just returning the object, and we'll drop getProjectionObject.) So: "historical reasons", but you shouldn't have to worry about it: if you prefer, you can always use objects.
