Because that's how it's always been. Hashtable is a 1.1-era class that's
fully synchronized for access, and was retrofitted to the Collection
interface for 1.2 and later.  Likewise for Vector.

Hash*Map* is the new JFC (1.2+) collection class that's unsynchronized
by default (and you can synchronize it by wrapping it using
Collections.synchronizedMap(map)).  Vector's replacement is ArrayList.
