For one thing, people make the claim that "Every texture is unique". This is outright false. Play Rage again. Pay attention to the details in cities. There are MANY reused textures.
THANK you. Rage re-uses textures indoors all the time too. It's just that they're so shitty they all look like dark fuzzy blobs anyway, so maybe that's why nobody else noticed.

I definitely noticed.
I suspect that they tried to keep relative resolution uniform.
It looks bad when you have a high-rez texture next to a low rez texture - keeping them the 'same rez' is the better looking compromise (or at least, that's the convention).
