Why? It looks good. Nothing else matters, imo.
Well, because there are thousands of potentially usable pieces of artwork that would be setting appropriate, so its mildly odd to choose one from a game that they are indirectly stating is a part of the problem in the industry that they are fighting against.
No, it doesn't suggest anything at all about Wasteland 2 as a game. Were I creating a game that is meant to be the antitheses to the direction of modern RPGs, I would probably keep anything about those games away from mine. As I said its a "mildly odd choice", nothing more.
