Also, if you stuck to the original play to 25 format for P+, you would run into the bonus round 2-3 times per show. Given it was for much more money than before, lengthening the main game seems logical. Of course, they could have played to 50 or 100, but that could get a bit monotonous.
The mid-70s version of Password solved that (playing to fifty with 10-9-8-7-6 is not much different than playing to 25 with 10 to one) by throwing in the qualifying round.
I don't consider tacking on a round just to tack it on solving something. Which to me is what adding the qualifying round to Password did.
