Back then it was no stupid idea cause memory was fast enough. So why
waste internal resources? From a today's perspective it may seem stupid,
but back then it was not unreasonable.

Mind you, those where the times when two processors (like 6809 or 6502)
could share the very same RAM without interfering.
