I think it's that there's no real need for both points. IIRC the idea of the system was mainly to make very distant binaries (hundreds of billions of kilometres out from the main star) be less of a dead weight if you get a lucky system gen (which became more needed once hyperdrives were removed) and to just allow general easier travel between distant planets and close ones. The idea isn't really that you would jump between a planet's L4 and L5 point and save a couple days travel. The L5 alone is adequate for the intended gameplay purpose.
