In practice, technical restrictions in early limitations (one byte == one (half-width) character cell) led to a typographic distinction. The fact that half-width Kana used less space was exploited in fixed-pitch screen design. That lead to a desire to keep the distinction when round-tripping via Unicode, and thus to different character names.
