I think the only reason was that these characters already had been escaped in `org-link-escape-chars'. The commit removed the special rules for the letters with diacritics. The previous commit (0c4bb0e) introduced an algorithm that covered non-ASCII characters in general, thus special rules for letters with diacritics where no longer necessary. I can only speculate why they were escaped in the first place: + ; and = do have special meaning in HTTP URIs and IIRC Org did not draw a strict distinction between escaping for internal purposes and escaping of HTTP URIs.
