Fatigue is strongly affected by surface finish since most cracks will initiate on the surface and will often be the leading cause of the fatigue failure. I am not sure but I think it is just a safety factor kind of thing, it just decreases the allowable max value by a certain percentage. (i.e. 0.7)
It reminds me of kinematic hardening, it's the same idea.
