I think the convention was to put the fixed internal drives first because they were more unlikely to change, and then use the later letters for external swappable drives.

In the time when the B: drive was relevant a lot of software might have had hard coded the letters, so it made sense to avoid it to preserve the compability with legacy software as more drives were added.
