There isn't anything as wide in the TLR line as the 50mm in the RB line.
And with no mirror clearance issues with the TLR, it may have been easier to obtain decent flat field performance with the 55mm lens for the TLRs than it was for the 65mm lens for the RB.
And as, among all the RB lenses, the 65mm lens permits the highest amount of subject magnification through close focus without an extension tube, the designers may have included the floating element to meet the needs of users who needed "quick" close focus capability.
There actually is another lens in the RB line that has a floating element - the Macro 140mm lens. For that lens, you adjust the floating element by checking the image magnification on the scale at the side of the camera, and then transferring that setting to the floating element ring.
If I am going out with a two lens setup, I often choose to put the 65mm and the 140mm in my bag. As a result, I'm used to dealing with it.
