I'm thinking it's the Mercedes influence. They think because RWD cars work in Europe where it barely snows they'll work in the much harsher climate or North America. The Sweeds know better...
I suppose they figure they covered their asses making it AWD, but there's still a cost issue.
And FYI luxury sedans and sports cars go with RWD because they put down so much power FWD wouldn't work for most configurations, and AWD can be expensive and heavy (it's CHEAPER for them to go RWD). OTOH the vast majority of 300's sold will not be with the Hemi engine, so FWD torque steer isn't an issues.
