It's to eliminate flex.
You don't want the diff housing and the larger span trying to tame the magnetics of the motor, do ya?
Hmmm............trying to visualize everything here.
If the diff housing were thick aluminum, and the bearing on the diff end was enlarged, then the center bearing wouldn't have to support the endbell at all.
Two shaft bearings inside the motor would help hold everything true.
