This seems to be because if you just have your tip snipped you can still stretch out your foreskin to look uncircumcised and, in that time period, pass as non-Jewish And rabbis at the time wanted to fight back against cultural assimilation by making this impossible

The real irony about all this is of course that in modern American society full circumcision has been so normalized that it has no relevance to whether people think you're Jewish or not at all

Also worth noting that "Brit shalom" is now a thing, via Jews Against Circumcision and others and it's gaining in popularity (a non-circumcising ritual induction of the child into the tradition)
