Yes. You can customize "beamer" class in `org-latex-classes' or define a
custom (for example, "my-beamer") class and add #+LATEX_CLASS: my-beamer
to the Org file.

This will give you full control over the preamble layout.

No specific reason that I am aware of.
Your suggestion sounds reasonable, but I'd like to hear from our LaTeX
experts first ;)
