First design decision was probably to improve the design, second one was when they realized that the bad design made more money when people needed to replace consoles.

I was going to say maybe it's because you can stack flat consoles and a lot of entertainment stands are easier to access the front from than the top, but you still had to access the top of the flat GCN.
