The #3 reason is it’s the equipment used at the highest level. I don’t know, but in other sports where a ball is hit, do they use different equipment in high school and college than they do at the professional level? If so, please let me know.
As a side note, the baseballs themselves are different at the various levels. And yes, the footballs are different as well. Basketball, I'm not sure but those may be slightly smaller as well.
