Default Why not tune B string to C and E string to F?

Why doesn't standard tuning tune the B string to C and E string to F?

Then all strings would have the same interval between then, with out the change at the B string.

I have two guesses, but they are guesses,

1. All open strings (like when you really blow the fingering for a chord but are strumming away) sound better with the standard tunning,

or

2. The standard tuning makes some chords obtainable (or easier) than the EADGCF tuning would.


Any ideas?
