The main thing I can think of, and its obvious, is size. The side of the Macbooks is very limited in terms of space. My old G4 MBP had a full size DVI adapter. As the chassis shrank, so did the video adapters. Now that you have a main chassis that is shrinking every two years or so, so doesn't it make sense to use the smaller adapters possible in order to accommodate that?
A mini-DP to DVI adapter takes up hardly any space in a laptop bag, my HDMI adapter always stays plugged into my pre-amp, but integrating a larger video adapter that you may not use all the time adds size to the notebook chassis itself.
Anyway, it doesn't bother me, no way a DVI port would fit on the side, and if you're going to use a displayport adapter then it might as well be the smaller of the two.
