Smaller packaging gets lost more often. If a driver has enveloped that are all the same size regardless of what is in them, that makes for easier and efficient handling and delivery.
Put yourself in the drivers position. If you find a small envelope that slipped away and should have been delivered 10-15 miles back then the time wasted going back or delaying the package altogether is crucial. These drivers are on schedules and have to meet time standards.
That makes sense. A close friend of mine used to drive for both UPS freight and ground and told me how crazy efficient their process was; it's like a science.
