That's probably just a function of use. The 'normal' wipers don't have a digital switch like the heated seats, so when they added in the automatic, (a late option around Dec '02) they didn't redesign the entire system, instead they mixed the automatic with the normal ones. Probably also explains how they're relatively cheap, even compared to the seats.
