>Why did they do this?
Because Judas unironically is the most interesting of the Apostles.

The others follow Jesus but abandon him. They embody human failings but their reactive failings are insignificant to "the story". Without Judas' active failing would the eucatastrophe of Man still occur? Is a "without Judas" even possible? There are plenty of terrible people in the Bible doing terrible things, but only of Judas is it said that it would be better for him if he had never been born...but was that only because of his final choice? Also, Jud(-ack) is each of us when we reject the path of forgiveness that is offered, and to what end?...a far more complex series of decisions.

So yeah, his songs can have a bit more depth than Herod's.
