I think this is mainly historical: the very terms lisp-1 and lisp-2 were coined 1988 [1]. Emacs was already there back then. When Emacs was born, all Lisps were lisp-2, or thereabouts. Take this with a fist of salt, though. My historical knowledge is not *that* deep. Perhaps someone with more history chops wants to chime in.
