Like all show-biz professionals, set decorators are intensely competitive. The more novel, colorful set pieces they can provide for productions, the better names they make for themselves.
In this case, rather than just grabbing the first modern-looking keeb they saw at Best Buy, the set dec spent some time online looking at cutting-edge keebs. That's great, because most of the people who see this show will have never seen a split keeb, much less an unlegended one. Presenting something that's usually so familiar in such an un-familiar way has a fun sinister effect. Buh-ha-ha!!
