I'd never say that TLC screwed up the scale, because I know there is no
'minifig scale'. Actually, from that POV, the external-set size is a
better 'target scale', because that's what they've used to size the ships
they've already released.
My *guess* is that TLC looked at the MF scale-issue, built various models
from various pieces at both scales, and went with what worked best while
staying within the appropriate size-range. Smaller=cheaper, which probably
had a big impact on their decision-making process.

That would be quite nice -- catching all the small colored signs and
markings on the Falcon's surface would be nearly impossible, even in a UCS
model.
