I guess it's because sequences and dictionaries are conceptually very
different.  (You can tell, because we have a special word just to
characterize "sequences". <wink>)  Both conceptually and in terms of how
they are manipulated, lists, tuples, and strings are all much more
similar to each other than dictionaries are to any of them.  It helps me
when reading code (even my own) to be reminded of the difference.  (I am
the proud owner of a skull of strictly limited size.)
