This feels like a projection of their deity. Did they want to conflate the mystery of their god to the mystery of electricity? I guess I'm a theist now...

Mysticism has a way of filling a volume. They'll ask question after question until they get the answer they want: "No, we're not sure why charge is a property that a particle can have in our universe, but..." - "Got it, mystery." Then they'll turn around and shepherd all these "mysteries" into their god of the gaps to demystify them anyway, so they can feel wise when they should feel curious.
