Well, off the top of my head I can think of at least two reasons, performance/reliability tradeoffs and performance/total (manufacturing & maintenance) cost tradeoffs.  I could see both as reasons for scaling back a bit on performance if it gets you better reliability (always a good thing for a naval aircraft) or allows a significant reduction in overall costs.  *smile* Then again, I'm coming at this from years in the business.
