Phantom, this has nothing to do with aesthetics. Aesthetics are irrelevant here.

It has to do with Mistral either being Steampunk in name only, or the government being stupid.

Why are you even mentioning aesthetics anyway? It has nothing to do with Mistral using a far less convenient element of Dust for no reason other than "lol we ar hipsters".
