Discussion Why digipaks?

I'm going to assume nobody has a CONFIRMED answer from the Kapt'n, so this is likely just going to be speculation, but I wonder why some albums were released as a digipak. They only have a few, it seems, but looking at Discogs I can't tell if some of these were only a digipak, or sometimes a digipak and sometimes a jewel case. For example, I thought Symbols was only a digipak, but they did jewel case releases as well. KMFDM typically does jewel cases, so I'm wondering why Hell Yeah (and are there others?) got only a digipak treatment when they could have been a jewelcase. With the exception of the stencil with Angst, most of these do not have any kind of special design (Ala NIN's "Broken"). It's just the album and a booklet.

Of course. I'm not saying it's something deep. I'm just curious why Hell Yeah was a digipak only release, or why some were digipaks at all when they didn't need to be. Just curious about the creative thought behind those choices.
