My guess is that they're aiming to facilitate timed transfers with other routes. Having it run at a consistent frequency also makes it a lot easier for users to predict when it will arrive at their stop without having to consult a schedule.
If they chopped 10 min off the stop at Charles Street, they would miss the timed transfer more often (although passengers would only have to wait 5 minutes in the worst case I think). But it would also mean that the bus schedule would be all over the map throughout the day.
