Hard to guess why they did that other than parts availability and wattage. I'd be comfortable with a 10k metal oxide in that location, although I'd be tempted to bump the wattage up to 5, just to give it an easy life. But in theory modern film and oxide resistors can endure more heat per surface area than the old carbon composition variety.
