The only reason is that FF 0F, though not a specified text event type, is still a text event, as opposed to FF 7F, which is assumed to be binary data. So FF 0F displays in the piano roll text event lane, is more likely to be preserved at least as readable information if imported into another program, etc. Admittedly it's not a strong reason.
