 Because they changed it to match (HTTP) and the dashboard changed it back.
 I'm trying to think about how this affects the very new user, one that
 doesn't understand schemes.

 The common install is for both the WordPress and site URL to match, the
 codex describes it as such:

 > The Site address (URL) is identical to the WordPress address (URL)
 (above) unless you are giving WordPress its own directory.

 If the setting was admin URL, I'd feel differently about this.
