Picture a space that needs to be filled with windings.

A lower turn count in the winding would leave that space half empty if the same number of strands were used.

To prevent copper losses and raise overall efficiency AND current handling ability, more strands of copper are used for less turns.

The wires coming out of the motor ARE the same wires used in the winding.

Otherwise, you have splices inside the motor that can/do cause problems.
