If I may ask, why is that ?
It has a bit to do with how DSA (and DSS) works compared to RSA.
I would have to dig out some old papers by the likes of Schneier, Demmings, Fergeson (I knwo I am mispelting all of their names! But, hey, I AM dyslectic) to put together a reasonable case.
We (the IETF) did DSA and DSS/DH more because we had to until the RSA patent expired.
