It just removes a level of complexity from the initial launch. It's also an indicator that GM doesn't expect the I4 to be a huge seller. And it also probably fits with the ramp up to full production.
Oh, and it is likely the least profitable of the 3 engines so no real need to hurry on that, but that's more of a guess.

I'm sure it's a lot of moving parts to set up for the launch of a new line. But they've been doing it for 100+ years. I think they should have it from day one. Especially with all the hype for that motor.
