i dont like it either but its probably to make you think about your strings
and when you specifically want variable expansion.
also consider the common case of making yum repos:
yumrepo{"foo": baseurl =>
'http://mirror.netcologne.de/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/'}
always using 's means you wont accidentally expand $releasever and $basearch.
There are
many cases where string expansion is not desirable like above.
I prefer double quote wherever possible personally.
