The first stage of flap has the biggest influence on reducing minimum flying speed, particularly as this includes deployment of the leading edge slats.

From that point, the fact that the aircraft was light (plenty of pax but no way to know how much fuel or baggage) and that a stiff crosswind might warrant a few extra knots on the final approach speed may have been enough for a decision to leave the flaps right there.
