Pure speculation on my part here, but I wonder if it wasn't to sort of
help provide a check on the Crown. In this kingdom at least, the Crown
can make a peer even over the objection of the relevant circle, as long
as they consulted them first. In practise however, it always causes a
lot of grief whenever a Crown elevates someone against the circles
wishes and most Crowns are reluctant to do so. In the case of a naked
patent, there is no circle to be consulted, so a Crown could easily drop
peerages on whomsoever they pleased, with no
consultation/advice/whatever sought. Dunno if this had anything at all
to do with the decision, just musing........
