Because of the one-square-move-per-turn of the Pawn (rather than the 2-square first move option we get today), it took longer to lift the Rook out into the middle of the board, where it could do maximum, long-range damage.
Mercifully, the Rook had full access across the board, the same as it does in the modern era.
