After having both, I really don't know why makers put P series tires on trucks. I can see it on Full Size SUVs that are essentially grocery getters, but trucks are meant to do work.
Glad you are pleased with the new tires. It's good to keep in mind when replacing P tires for us RVers.
As far as why the P tires on trucks, because:
1. EPA regulations require MFG'ers to maximize fuel economy, and LT tires don't do that.
2. The majority of truck owners commute in them (at least in my tiny city of ~6 million people) and aren't towing or hauling a load when they do. This also contributes to item #1.
