I might think they would be given the ability to retune in case of
jamming. There was not a whole lot of HF jamming in World War 2, but
the threat certainly existed.

Or maybe, "just because". Retuning a receiver is not anywhere as
difficult as retuning a transmitter. I bet most of the pilots had
plenty of practice sitting in front of their Philcos and Zeniths as
teenagers.
