Probably for the same reason that, in Swift, dictionary lookup returns an Optional but Array traps on out-of-bounds: dictionary keys tend to come from outside the dictionary, but array indices tend to be derived from the array bounds. This means a dictionary lookup failure tends to be expected, and an out-of-bounds array index tends to be a logic error.
