Form over function I suspect.
The designer was there drawing a car and thought the parking brake was ugly and never flowed well for his current dash designs, so removed it and forced the engineers to go EPB.
I thought the foot parking brakes from the BMW 7 and VW touaregs was fine.
Even the old patrol pull brakes at a push.
