he might as well keep the g string just in case. its not like it makes a difference to neck width or feel or anything.

I gather he kept breaking them and couldn't afford to replace them back in the day. I guess if you're almost solely playing constant 8th notes with a thick dirty sound then you're better off going up the neck rather than onto a thinner string and the top frets on the D-string go plenty high enough for that kind of playing. One less string to mute as well.

The sustain pedal on a piano lets you have far more than 10 note polyphony
