It's by design, but not for a terribly good reason - it's just my preference for not linking directly to categories when it can be avoided. It's an old habit from back when I was trying to make the argument to reduce category pages to references instead of articles and move the content to what's currently the redirect (for technical reasons, mostly; a lot of contribution history was lost when some categories were deleted and recreated, since categories can't be moved, and if you add a category to a category page, it becomes a subcategory, which can sometimes be undesirable). I can change it out if you'd like, though - it's a quick fix.
