A marketing ploy but not so stupid...

As the diameter of the candy decreases the ratio of cheaper sugar
coating to chocolate increases by the square of its diameter... ie. a
pound of 1/8" candy contains four times the sugar coating as a pound
of 1/4" candies. The smaller candies also require a lot less
packaging materials.
