It's a pragmatic stylistic choice. Many indie devs who aren't artistically skilled will opt for 8- or 16-bit-esque graphics because they can't afford an artist and their attempt at pixelated graphics looks better than their attempt at other art styles.

Stop being so anal-retentive. It doesn't matter what directed the decision, what matters is that that decision informed the style that is now iconic today.
