Because when they converted F-Zero SNES from NTSC to PAL, they altered the programming in such a way that 5/6 is obviously not an accurate conversion. We attempted to determine what would be a fair rate, and although at ANY conversion factor there will be questions and doubters, 3/4 seems to be the closest and most fair rate to use.
