Mind you, it's only a conjecture, but here goes:
1) Starting at the beginning, let me posit that the exercises used to develop "the body skills" are pretty bizarre in their approach compared to normal calisthenics.
2) It then seems relatively natural that "aiki waza" intended to refine the application of those skills would be pretty bizarre in their approach and application in comparison to koryu jujutsu.
