I think that since when you take out the appendices the 3rd book is really short, they are trying to put more material in the return of the king. see, the appendices are sooo long. they have to fart around with faramir for so darn long! plus, they wanted a clean ending. it ending with frodo kidnapped would make people VERY angry. and helms deep is such an attention grabber, they wanted to end right after. there, thats my opinion.
