If you're used to writing, and you casually write two vertical strokes, the second one will probably be longer. I think the length of the vertical strokes in 其 arose from this. That in addition to the next horizontal stroke slanting upwards makes the second vertical stroke go through it. It was not done just to be beautiful.
Thank you for your expertise.
