F-16 Viper(Block 70/72) and Rafale cockpit comparison

What were the possible reasons for Lockheed to place the main screen in such position?

Pilot needs to look down and also obscures the screen while using the panel on top of the cockpit.

Rafale's cockpit for example, which has similar overall layout, seems much more ergonomical.
