There being an order of magnitude more package mirrors than ISO mirrors. Completely ignoring the web site organisation, mind you, it's been common for a long time for people to encourage network-based installs, or anything other than downloading full 640M ISOs. Part of it, of course, is to enhance the "user experience" - users will rightfully go with full 640M ISOs because it's been their experience in the past that a) it was required, and b) shit broke often enough that they needed to reinstall. Almost everybody I got to do a 'net install never had any problems whatsoever, and they were EXTREMELY delighted. Had they gone wish the full 640M ISO, they'd have been happy, but they wouldn't have had as good an idea as to how things *can* work, when it's done right :)
