Because logistically you have to make it fit for rail transport from the factory in Utah. Why did it have to come from Utah? Because some powerful swamp creatures wanted it built there...
That’s a gross over simplification.
Firstly, the locations aren’t arbitrary, but rather for existing aerospace manufacturing facilities.
Secondly, a non segmented design was given. And it was the first one eliminated due to cost and insufficient safety margins on its structural stability.
Third, the questionable politics of swamp impact is moot as the finalists were between two segmented models.
