It has everything to do with the 30 day limit as that is what hurt the exploration aspect of Pikmin for so many people, the reason why Famitsu (among others) mentioned how much more freeing the second game is, and how exploration is more encouraged this time around. Again, you seem to think that this is a matter of objective fact when it's one of the most subjective things you can discuss. It's about how you like to play your games and what you take out of the experience.
