The same reason that some cars were once air cooled -- fewer parts required, and therefore less cost.
But most of us (outside of fans old Porsches) prefer water cooled motors...
It's more of a debate with intercoolers for FI applications because cooler really is always better, and in
some situations, air-to-air coolers will work as well or better as water-to-air.
For oil, cooler is not always better. Geting up to operating temp quickly and being able to stay there with little fluctuation is ideal.
