What is the purpose of making the appointments a super-majority rather than a simple majority other than to match cabinet approval threshold?

Well, it's really just a matter of picking one or the other. Personally, I favour the higher threshold considering that (I feel) people are more inclined to just accept a candidate when they have no competition, so they should have to obtain the support of a higher proportion of the electorate than a simple majority.
