Because it was one half of a shelter. You got together with a buddy, and put your two halves together and made a whole shelter. The two halves buttoned together made a two-man pup tent. Most men quickly abandoned their shelter half as heavy, bulky and in the way once they got into action. They were picked up by the quartermasters, and used mostly for burial shrouds.
