Sure I would have flopped a boat here, but how often would the flop have come with 3 over cards?  Or something like 5-A-3.  Or God forbid something like 8-2-3.  On an 8 high flop I’d have no idea where I stood in the hand.  Sure I’ve got top pair, but I’m out of position in a raised pot with a 5 kicker.  Not the spot I want to be.

See you after the flop!
