I always reasoned that it was to represent that some weapons had more "piercing" ability, or whatever, and when you attacked something that had more mass the weapon could sin' deeper into it and cause more damage. Thus, a chopping broadsword or battleaxe did the same damage to all sizes, while a longsword that you could also conceivably pierce with you could sink deeper into a dragon's belly and cause more damage.
I think it was really just some random game element that people tried to rationalize, much like demi-human class restrictions and level limits.
