Charging from the top means you can easily keep the public away from the contacts. It's also easier to keep things clean. It might also be a factor that you don't have to dig up the road to add a new station/charger.

There was likely some cost/benefit analysis done that found it was cheaper/more reliable/less logistically complex.
