I think it was partly because composers assumed the range of the instrument was simply an octave lower than the clarinet, with written E as the lowest note. Instrument makers added the low Eb so that a bass clarinet in Bb could be used to play parts written for bass clarinet in A, which often included the written low E (concert C#).
