I think the reason is more about synching up the recording... with the film strip flying past the camera in real-time (let's assume the "normal" speed of the projector is 24 fps) the chance of the camera catching the exact moment of the frame being stopped in front of the lens is pretty slim. Having both run at a lower frame rate allows them to be synched up perfectly. But that's only wild guessing on my part now...
