A big part of that is that when a lot of the CLI programs were written, spaces were not allowed in names. Because spaces are used to separate arguments to commands, it is not a good idea to use them in names anyway. (rpm is new enough that spaces were allowed, but some of the libraries it uses apparently still have problems.)
