I'd expect one of the biggest reasons is core motors. Almost ANY core motor can be taken .030 over safely, and .030 over pistons are common, so it's the cheapest combo to build, parts wise. If you were trying to keep them 364, or minimize the overbore, you'd have to keep 4.000 4.010, 4.020 and 4.030 pistons on hand, and go through extra work on each engine. Most people are rebuilding engines or using cores, not buying brand new blocks. 
There's also the fact that 4.030 is about as much as you want to take an F/I engine on an LQx block, and 370 is a 4.030 with a nice rev happy (and turbo friendly) stroke.
That's just my theory though, Joe or someone could probably tell you in more exacting reasons.
Zach,
Yes, still trading you. I really need to stop at Kenny's and pick up my kit, just no time...
