I would guess because looking through the grille & seeing the body color is not always a good thing. I prefer anything behind the grille opening/s to be hidden in plain site. Since that area is dark, satin black is the way to go.

Another option is to two-tone it.... the face/front in satin black, the top & rear in another color w/a pinstripe separating the two.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I agree, it just doesn't look as good to me when you see body color behind the grille openings, same goes for seeing aluminum radiators through the grille. I always paint everything you can see behind the grille satin black so it doesn't catch your eye and distract from the body lines.

Hmm that make sense about the black core support. Always wondered why people did that. I still like the whole thing painted body color but will not knock anyone for having a different opinion Variety is the spice of life!
