SM's reasoning: They need soulmates, and age is just a number.

My reasoning: Shit happens.

SM didn't know that Jacob was going to imprint on Renesmonster, though. Jacob would have died beforehand, and Forever Dawn is pretty different from BD. Back then, I don't think that SM had even thought of imprinting. Jake's imprinting isn't his destiny or some shit like that - it was a last-minute decision since SM screwed everything up everything by making Jake fall in love with Bella and then realizing, "Oh shit, she led him on and now they're stuck aaaaaah." Honestly the series could have ended after Eclipse.
