Belkin chose to use WAV rather than AIFF for the simple reason that
the iPod can't play an AIFF file. iTunes software translates AIFF
into MP3 or WAV before transferring the file from Mac to iPod.

My guess is that the Apple designers thought of the iPod as an
accessory for both Macs and PCs from the beginning, and chose to
support the common file types that both Macs and PCs can deal with,
namely WAV and MP3.

Here's a link to the iPod specs page:
