 By increasing incomes uniformly, the multiplier can (mostly) be seen as dividing costs. Buildpower is multiplied because time is a cost, and so that ratios of production capacity to income are unaffected. If the system directly reduced cost, then cheaper units would drop smaller wrecks and have lower mass, which would be messy. Multiplying incomes lets combat units behave identically regardless of their teams handicap.
-The main difference between the systems is reclaim. A reclaim field is worth the same amount of "potential expenditure" (aka unit construction) to all teams regardless of handicap, but it is proportionally less valuable for teams with a higher income multiplier. A team with a handicap can reclaim faster due to increased buildpower, but doesn't get any extra total metal from the field.
