php code changes take effect immediately, and are more porteable. Apache
redirect requires sufficient privileges to the apache config (I think qa
has that, but at the original place in someone's public_html, that was
probably not the case), and a reload of apache upon changes.

That's what I can think of, but this has never been discussed before to
the best of my knowledge, so the real original answer is most likely
just "Because the author choose php".

Why?
