Some of that latter part could just be older Java code; foreach wasn't introduced until Java had been out for 8 years already (2004). I'm under 30 and some of my older Java code uses that style of loop, because it was written in 2002-03 before foreach was available.

It's possible they learned Java at some earlier point in their lives, but my understanding was the team came from embedded/systems C backgrounds and I think they just did what felt right.
