I don't remember either, I think it was a mix between feature/UI freeze 
at the time of implementation
and maybe because the UI wasn't fully ironed out. I can't really remember.

The functionality (for custom keybindings) was added the 2002-05-22 in 
gnome-settings-daemon.
If anybody is interested by the UI in JDS 3 you can find a screenshot here :

and the patch for it here :
