That’s clearly due to the pedagogical purpose; since the etudes are 
about Double Stops, the author wanted to make more immediately obvious 
what exact double stop is played at the moment. (Which I feel would make 
more sense if neither note was on an open string, but I guess that also 
appears later in the work.)
