A lot of 16bit MQA

I notice a lot of of the additional MQA files are only 16 bit, not 24. Why is this? Some were 24bit but have since been downgraded. Too many to list actually. And a lot of them my favourites, so this really annoys! Particularly after the announcement of full MQA additions. Help me understand.
