Care to explain how historical reasons can change the laws of geometry?

If a visible surface with a physical aspect ratio of 16/9 is cut into
702×576 identical rectangular pixels, then the aspect ratio of each pixel is
(16/9) / (702/576) = 512/351. Can you give one good reason for FFmpeg to
use, internally, any other value?
