Well there's no accounting for taste! 🙂 But I don't think the earthquake argument for it holds up. It's not like there's overhead gas pipes, which probably presents more of a risk than electrical cabling. All they need to do is put sufficient slack in the cables and they will rarely need maintenance, as most quakes are minor. I think there's a greater risk to life from the cables being overhead. I think it's down to cost saving.
