Because in the end, it's their decision. I agree with your cropping suggestion, but it is a classical one. And 'classical' is one of the many flavors available these days. I'd be very happy to show what I meant when talking about 'some color work needed' if I had the image in a bit larger size: this one is just too small to make my point.
