It is certainly not my first choice when it comes to pipe tunes -- I wonder if the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards ever regret putting that tune on their album back in the 1960's? 
Gi'e me Flowers of the Forest, Sleep Dearie Sleep or Lochaber No More any day.

The piper was playing at the opening, I believe, and to an astoundingly large crowd of up to 500,000. The tune, being such a well-known one for the pipes, was appropriate to a general audience, surely?
EDIT: I stand corrected by the OP- it was at the closing. Spliced news coverage can be misleading....
