I don't know that either, but one possible explanation may be
compatibility:

Outlook Express can't do a thing with *.msg files (according to something I
googled, no warranty), but it can (as well as a number of other email
programs) handle *.eml files.

I did not find any information if the .eml format was indeed invented by
Microsloth, or someone else; since TB exports .eml files as well, it maybe
is an open format (or does Rit pay royalties to M$? I doubt it).
