The answer to the question may lie in the fact that the Chinese classic abacus has two heaven beads and five earth beads along each rod, and thus that makes the difference from other types of abaci.

"The Chinese abacus is commonly used for working in decimal, but it may be used as well for hexadecimal numbers. Note that when all beads along a rod are set then the sum of bead values would exactly be equal to 15 or F.

Hexadecimal numerals are widely used by computer system designers and programmers because they provide a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values."
