Because the owners do not want to weld aluminum anymore since it takes more time than to weld steel. The advantage will be the steel housing is heavier it will also have more inertia; this will usually lead to better damping performance against vibration from the crank. Also steel is obviously stronger than aluminum so it will put up with more abuse from the client.
