Honestly I've always hated this. An early example of the awful trend where there has to be a "lore reason" for every little detail.
Star Trek aliens are mostly humanoids because its a human TV show telling stories that have to be relatable to humans and also has a limited budget. There is no need for a lore explanation.
At least in this case it's a one off that's never really referenced again.
