Because 40k designs run on visually communicated vibes. The bullpup design has connotations with a more advanced and slick type of force (deserved or not it doesn't matter, what matters is the perception), which is what the Elysians are when compared to most other guard regiments. Looking for or demanding realism in 40k is utterly missing the point.
