Because no one could decide which three fingers (no, I'm not kidding. D. Williamson said as much at a camp). In the manual you're supposed to hold up the middle three fingers but not many people did that (I did). Some even did the FIBA method (thumb-index-middle). The rules folks decided to make it half a touchdown to standardize it.

The only time we use the "stop clock" mechanic in NCAAW on an OOB is if the ball goes out but we aren't sure which team touched it last. Other than that, direction is the first signal.
