It was easier to shift the vertical and horizontal scan frequencies, as all consumer TV sets had consumer adjustments for locking onto these. In contrast, the FM intercarrier was set at 4.5MHz with no consumer adjustment possible. Aunt Tilly isn't going to get out a diddle stick and retune the sound IF transformers in her TV set... Most TV sets didn't even make the consumer adjust the vertical and horizontal holds anyway.
