I was a kid listening to "grown-up talking" so I could remember the wrong reason for the funny pairing, or maybe I'm getting old :-) (it's been 30+ years). English Wikipedia isn't very helpful on the regard but I found a page in German [1] that lists a number of 387DX-compatible chips running at 40MHz, so maybe it was just a matter of price, local availability, or lack of trust in the brands.
