I don't think that's a very accurate characterisation
to be honest.

I think the most relevant (but intertwined) factors are:

- - trading off ease of deployment vs. endpoint authentication
- - trading off protection against passive vs active attack
- - better separating key exchange from endpoint authentication
  so that traditional authentication or TOFU or whatever can
  be used before during or after key exchange
