??? Track bikes and Square Taper BBs

Why is it that there seems to be a preference for the square taper BB of yore with track bikes?

A lot of popular track cranks are older designs like Sugino 75s and Campag Pistas.

Bit of a shift now with SRAM Omniums using an external bb, and a few others following suit.
