No guarantee that the aircraft would be stalled if the <60kts reading was false.
Apparently the designers decided a stall warning that would never work below 60KTS was better than one that would sometimes fail below that speed.
I don't think the designers made a conscious decision in that regard - it's so far outside the flight envelope that it probably wasn't considered at the time.
