My guess:
You want the memory size in bits to be a power of two because that makes the memory easier/cheaper to manufacture, and it should *also* be a power of two in bytes so you don't waste address lines. These constraints are only met together if your byte size is indeed a power of two.
I'm pretty sure about the second constraint, but don't know if the first one is true; that's just speculation. It seems like that would make sense though?
