I'm not sure why you think being able to store values from -512 to +511 is more logical than -128 to +127?

Buckets of 10 seem more regular to beings with 10 fingers that can be up or down?
I think 8bits (really 7 bits) was chosen because it holds a value closest to +/- 100. What is regular just depends on how you look at it.
