I presume it’s because people in stem are more likely to have strong opinions about statistics, validity of tests or science, that sort of thing. Or, they’ll sound more competent when discussing with other jurors.
I also think both sides wanted to appeal to emotions, and have their expert witnesses be the technical authorities.
