I think it's to do with sound.

Most all Tuba players want (need?) to make that resonant sound that really only comes from a contrabass. This 'sound' is why they play Tuba.

The average conductor, orchestra member or audience member would mostly rather hear better clarity in favour of fat wafts of marshmallow sound however.

Most players I suspect, opt for a compromise between these two camps, hence the small CC as a do-all workhorse.
