I guess the X11 port was coded before multiple monitors was common. When it was discovered that the primitives used returned the whole combined size, that behaviour was documented. I doubt there was any well thought out reason for having it like it is. Well, finding monitor sizes was probably hard to impossible.
But that is hardly a reason to keep it as it is. We can do better now.
