Well, I am sure it just comes from compatibility with their building system. Trains are a small subset of what they make and compatibility with anything else has actually been a significant problem for them, not a benefit. Just look at megablocks. In the case of O gauge however, the rest of the O gauge product lines I don't think would be a threat to the Lego product line.
Additionally, basing things off the lego minifigure results in weird dimensions. A minifigure doesn't actually scale up to anything resembling a human since they are so wide.
