Actually, the one-key T3 didn't come along until 1967.  It's not that big of a deal having two separate keys.  Suppose you have a Squareback and the engine is running, and you want to open the locked rear hatch real quick to stuff something in it.  A separate key lets you do that without having to turn off the engine!

...Yeah, it's overall more of a hassle than an advantage, but hey, that's the price you pay for staying stock.  I just keep trying to convince myself that it's an actual advantage.
