Subaru could only afford to do a single body style since that generation WRX was a pretty serious departure from the Impreza chassis. Everyone else in the market was offering a hot hatch, so Subaru, being Subaru, decided to do things a differently.
I prefer the sedan. It's much less boomy and noisy than the old WRX hatch. I never got much use out of the hatch anyway.
