The Saju view
Leighton begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire. In Saju, Leighton carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Leighton earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Leighton ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
