The way it has been explained to me is that softball is very concerned about umpires being 'bigger' then the game. They don't want to draw attention to themselves, thus the lack of 'selling' calls or different color uniforms.

They frown on 'non standard' mechanics, or colors or doing anything that makes anyone notice anything that you do above and beyond calling the rules and the game as it is meant to be.
