The only thing that I ever heard was that it was strictly for monetary reasons. Usually weather data is free - worldwide. However, when METEOSAT was first launched, certain entities were willing to pay a fee for more frequent access to the data and the EU liked the idea as a means of offsetting costs. I guess that money rules - even in the weather business.
