It seemed like a good idea at the time. Before SEED aired, the Newtype magazine was all excited about how "there would be cross over of events in the anime with the manga, so you need to have both to know the full story".
Now, obviously this annoys everyone in the West who watched fansubs, but it's not like Japan ever cared about that.
Although of course, instead of ACTUAL crossover of characters and plots, Sunrise just got lazy and simply kept everyone in their medium. So you never saw manga main characters in the anime and vice versa. Which is a rather unusual way to do a crossover.
Most people in the West doesn't even know a Crossover occurred, since there is no hint that anything unusual happened. All we see is that there was a gap in the story, but nothing to link us to manga.
