Has there ever been an explanation for why the backsprites in Gen 1 look so bad?"

Are there any documents, interviews, or leaks that acknowledge this? It's not that the backsprites are badly drawn or anything, they genuinely look stretched.
If you compare the front sprites with the back ones, the pixels on the backsprites are clearly doubled in size.
Maybe they realized mid-development that the sprites were too small and just stretched them all? It's so strange.
