Because there are other places where Nusach Ari follows the Razah's
tenu'ah qalah concept. The one case I recall is the Razah's Shaarei
Tefillah was the first to have Adon Olam say "beterem kol yetzur nivra".
Which the Siddur haRav haZaqein has as well, complete with a melupum
malei, so we see the vav in "yetzur".

And while the original Tehillas Hashem copied Seder haAvodah (1911,
Vilna), the above could be why they chose a Razah-based pointing rather
than copying another siddur. The project wasn't run by amei haarez,
and they did give RYYS (L's Friardiker Rebbe) a voice in the result.

Which is why the new edition was loathe to change things. The odds that
the Razah's niqud was an intentional choice was too high.

:-)BBii!
