I do not remember the reason for that, but I am sure I had one. However btattach is so dead simple that it should be used. Seems like we should look into making sure the command line options are stable and we install it by default. The hciattach code is the most horrific code we have in our tree. I really dislike it and there is almost zero chance to clean it up. I am not sure that I want to pile on top of it.
