It's arbitrary, there is no fundamental reason to scale scores one way or the other.
I think having the scores shown relative to the maximum achievable for the map is more convenient than the system other game modes use. For example, a score above 950k in osu!mania is always a good indicator of a certain level of proficiency in the map, whereas in osu! a score of 5 million in osu! standard can be anything between very poor and perfect, depending on the map, (also, there is the issue that score is a very poor indicator of performance overall in osu! standard)

So basically, because it's better than standard's scoring.
But yes, it's arbitrary.

Combo based scoring is unrelated to having a cap of 1 million score.
actually you can look at scorev2 for every game modes where the max score is capped in 1mil x mod multiplier. it is used in almost every tournaments existed. other game modes are leaning to this system eventually with lazer
