The only thing we know for sure is that it included some subset of
grain-like foods and of legumes. Any reason as to why is a post-facto
theory. Multiple exist.

In principle, pasqaning one such shitah is right, and therefore the
rabbanim who made a din must have intended to include the new case is
possible. But not compelled. We often leave a gezeira off where it
originally ended because it's not for us to ban more things than
Chazal did.

All the more so in a case like qitniyos, when it's not a rabbinic issur
but a minhag.
