It's having to match the Airbus, not the 88. The 88 checklist was like straight Airbus then they realized using it would result in an incident or excursion, so they added stuff necessary to prevent incidents and excursions. So now the 88 checklist looks like it was designed by a Frenchman appeasing people who live in Long Beach.
