I literally have no idea why they would think that.

Because I think that, and so might alot of people in the market.
In years past, they only released one size fits all. So, with the release of two sizes... they didn't know what percentage of production should be allocated to which size (also considerations to the 3 storage sizes and 3 color options for each model).

They probably just went with the market studies which told them how to plan production to maximize profits.

Women with purses don't have much of a reason to care about phone size. Hell, they can carry around an Ipad with Cell service. But I want a phone that will fit in my pocket. The fact that alot of people won't want it because of its size makes large production numbers at release risky.

I think they were just hedging their bets so that they didn't overproduce the 5.5" if it wasn't well received by the market given that they could always request more from production.
