A double-quote is more noisy than a single-quote, and W is more noisy than V.
The difference is that " and ' are equally usable options in the context we're talking about. Quotes are very common, so the visual noise adds up when your screen is full of quote marks. Given that they mean the same thing, and one is both harder to type and harder to read, it makes sense to prefer the other.
