Exactly. It's just that they had limited variety of caps; it was much cheaper. What does it matter if the cap costs you pennies? so you put a 1kV cap where 50V would suffice, who cares.
Same what I do: I keep most of my axial film caps rated at 630VDC. I could have that one variety and buy in bulk.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
