Big disclaimers about mapping intuition to physics, but... it never particularly made sense to me that we should have multiple space dimensions and one time dimension. I think the difference is most likely a matter of our perception. Even in the more recent takes on superstring theory, it's usually phrased as "nine space dimensions and one time", or, with supergravity, "ten space dimensions and one time". Holding on to one time dimension seems more likely to be an artifact of our measuring process.
Of course, this is based in no scientific data whatsoever, and I could be totally wrong.
