To be honest? I don't know. I have a GUESS (using the absolute value means you could use vector quantities instead of scalar ones) but nothing concrete. Maybe it's just a question of consistency.

r is for radius; you can model such effects as a spherical field emanating from one of the point charges and then reason about the other point charge based on its distance from the center.
