One reason for doing this might be to speed things up - "standard"
RAMs tend to be about twice as fast as standard ROMs/EPROMs.  Once you
optimize all your circuitry to run dynamic rams with 0 wait states,
trying to deal with slow ROMs too could be a real pain, and everything
would run slower too.

I dont claim that this is why the amiga does it this way, but it
COULD be a reasonable reason...
