Maybe because it was 'the movies', and strict reality must always fall
victim to the dictates of showing a good story?
That is, you can fit more of the Falcon in the frame if the stage-model is
smaller. Which makes the scene look better, because viewers can tell that
it's the Falcon, not just a wall of scrap.
That's just a guess. The other rumor I heard was that the size mismatch
between the interior sets and the exterior set was a mistake in the first
movie.

That's too bad. The internal-set scale makes a lot more sense, based on
what the interior of the Falcon is supposed to hold and do. Which is
probably why it's a more popular choice as the 'correct' scale for the MF.
