My understanding on this one has always been:
1) The paper tickets are issued at all ticketing locations (TTC, Guest Relations, etc..) so that no matter what ticket type a guest chose to purchase, and no matter what location they do it at, the machine could print it as the next one off the roll. It doesn't matter if it's a one-day/one-park, or a Premium Annual Pass. This allows them to issue every admission ticket type from every ticketing location on the property quickly and easily.
2) Resort guests get the plastic ticket option for the simple and obvious reason that the paper ticket would get all mashed up trying to open the room door. Since they will already have that plastic card as a room key, it only made sense to have the option for that to serve as their admission media for the parks. Since this form factor was a given it set the shape and form standard for the paper tickets.
Just what I've heard as the reason for all this...
