My theory is that they came up with the concept of operator overloading (or copied it elsewhere and were exited) and decided the best place to demonstrate and sell the concept is in the most used console input and output standard functions.
Edit: I realize my contempt for this decision is not evident here, so let me add that it was a terrible choice in their part indeed.
