There may be many reasons. but you are practicing retakes that may happen in a competitive scenario. It's not always a 5v5 retake, that's actually pretty rare for a full team to rotate and take hold of a site then for the other team to still try and take it, rather then quickly rush the other and take mid control so they can't rotate over.
It's way more likely to be an uneven number, or at the very least less then 5.
You know what may be cool? I don't think the source engine has it in it's limits, but say you had 2 retakes going on at once per server on each bomb site. You could have one doing 3v4, one doing 2v5 or all other types of mix. This would allow more people to play per round and allow for more variety in the team splits (since you don't want a lot of <6 players, no one would want to play if they barely ever got in! it would be a requirement to have vip to enjoy it!)
Doubt it's possible since there'd be two bomb plants which would mess the game up. But would be really cool
