I believe they went with bluetooth because all smartphones have it, it doesn't require a special base station and can send simple serial commands fairly easily from an iOS app.
Honestly though, I prefer wi-fi over bluetooth because I can connect to an entire network of smart devices. Bluetooth would limit me to one device at a time.
