Probably came from the fact that even on a https connection as I understand it people can still see the GET params because they are in the clear just to be read by anyone vs having to look into the body of the packet to see POST. It may only be true on the initial connection and not true if connection reused in http(s) 1.1 but most people aren't reusing their connection soon enough not to time out or in other ways drop the connection between API requests. I do remember some kind of request or suggestion several years back by someone at CCP to use POST but not sure the reason etc. Hope that helps you figure it out. I know personally that I find POST easier to use as a programmer as well so that's why Yapeal has used it from the start.
