It was an intentional simplification of the interface. You can read the reasoning here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11405#comment:7
Our helpdesk (back when we had one) was interacting with many users who were doing the wrong thing with the old interface.
The reasoning in short is that if 443 is one of your available ports then your Tor will bootstrap pretty quickly anyway, and if 443 and 9001 aren't available you're probably going to need some bridge or proxy or something in order to bootstrap.
