Rationale Behind Latest As Default Homepage View

A quick search does not show a discussion beyond https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-was-the-latest-page-chosen-as-the-landing-page/4483

Mostly, the idea seems to be that small communities can get lost in the noise of their own category system. I know that personally, I find navigating smaller communities or ones I only visit occasionally, easier when I can do so via a list of latest posts. Categories are better when looking for all info I can on a very specific topic.
