Whereas I would accept that you could maybe run faster over an open piece of ground, better vision to avoid obstacles, there really isn't any justification when it comes to shooting.

Shooting through center squares rarely comes up in my games. I've never had a problem with it, however. I just think abstractly...

Maybe the center tiles are simply flatter, so you can see to target that distance better?
Maybe there are no trees/shrubs (other things that wouldn't be reflected on the tiles much) to get in the way of the shot? [Shaddup about that there well!]
Maybe the center tiles are in a bowl/valley and you're shooting across it?

Ignoring all the thematics of it -- it's pretty important, from a game balance perspective, to have the center tiles the way they are. Otherwise, corner-to-corner is so far apart, it's depressing.
