Because I mean like...there is a general...consensus? over what sounds nice to the ear...if we had a bunch of songs using these lesser used chords...music would be...quite ugly lol

It would probably be more artistic...but be careful what you wish for...because it would probably be really very harsh to listen to lol

I mean just listen to some of those seventh chords! Ouch lol
They chose songs that were written in the same key signature, and transposed them to match their voices so it flows. If the songs were not all part of the same key signature, then the chords couldn't be applied this way.
