I think this is becuase thinking of 'rows' and 'columns' is more natural 
than thinking of list of lists.

A list of lists is a matrix really. A list of lists of lists is a 3D matrix. 
Most of the time, one needs a Matrix or a 3D matrix. So, if you think of a 
list if lists as a matrix, may be this will help.
