Only just saw that League One and League Two aren't going down to 8th

So, that's three divisions of 24 teams, in the same competition, but each with entirely different arrangements for both promotion and relegation. Why?

Champ
Promotion: Two plus one from six
Relegation: Three

League One
Promotion: Two plus one from four
Relegation: Four

League Two
Promotion: Three plus one from four
Relegation: Two
