Maybe the framers only wished to list one of the most important rationales, instead of attempting to provide an exhaustive list (providing a completely exhaustive list might have proved an impossible task; hence they chose only to list the foremost rationale).

I'll ask a question I've asked before in threads about the second amendment. If we took an eraser to the constitution and deleted the first clause of the second amendment would anything be different (i.e. would you interpret the clause in a different way?) Would the clause have greater reach, less reach, or exactly the same?
If your answers are, as I suspect, that nothing would change --- could you show me other completely superfluous clauses in the Constitution?

And I will ask you a question I have asked you before. I challenge you to find a single pre-20th century quote that refers to the 2A as anything but an individual right. Please find me 1 single quote. You have 2 centuries of quotes available to you (end of 1700s, 1800s). So if your hypothesis is correct then finding one single quote shouldn't be that hard.
Here is a video to watch:

I could write tons more but I really don't think the people that insist the 2A applies to individuals have a case. Just look at the versions of the 2A that were voted down. Also, there are just way too many quotes from our founding fathers that say the complete opposite.
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
