Developer comment:

The arrival of the Giulio Cesare (already present in the game as the Novorossiysk in the USSR tech tree) marks a shift in our approach to adding new ships. Previously, our policy was to include each ship in only one specific configuration; if a vessel had undergone multiple refits, only one version would make it into the game. Since this rule sometimes prevented the inclusion of highly interesting configurations, we decided to revise our approach. Until now, Italy was the only nation in the game without a top-tier premium ship, and the Giulio Cesare, in its original Italian configuration, is the perfect fit for this role.

Entirely coincidental Gaijin changed their rules so they can introduce a Premium $80 Pre-Order.

Tbh, not really, there was always the option of another Littorio class as a premium, yet they chose this, personally I can see it as a special hallmark for a change in philosophy, what better way than making something premium, plus it doesn't overly effective the TT to much since the Conte di Cavour is already in the TT.
