This is just speculation, but when the Mac was designed the concept was "computing appliance". They wanted something that would be about the computer equivalent of a toaster to operate. So they neglected to support hard disks ( no HFS ), provided no expansion capability, and gave programrs access to the entire instruction set, since they would never need the supervisor mode to do multitasking!
