States starting with A are huge, states starting with W are tiny. (If there were states starting with Z they'd be even smaller)

That's what I originally thought, but if you compare Maine and Alaska, the sizes aren't much different to my eye

Maybe he took all the current areas of the states. Then reassigned them alphabetically. Rather than creating new areas.

Then why is Hawaii fucking massive?

Yeah, Hawaii is huge and Idaho is way smaller than it actually is, despite it being right behind Hawaii, alphabetically.
