It was like that because... at the time there was no LW potions and maxing out with a capp required like 2/10ft3 so the 1.13 speed was only for people who really strived to have it (you could only have like 2 guns and a few donuts or you wouldn't be max speed).

Originally the Bamboo was edited to be 100% block from the front, I bought one and hilariously abused it by backing into doorways of old BH or CTF and ****... so when Chris removed that I suggested the speed boost to make it more viable as an equip melee. There wasn't even hotkeys at the time and Bamboo was 3 of a kind so... it needed something special.

But at this time where you can hotkey guns and use it in unison, and everyone has 1.13 speed regardless (I have 300~ LW potions and don't even play) the feature is pretty dated. I prefer the change.
